From 3 to 5 p.m., the Friends of the Zorach Fountain will host the celebration, which will feature music by the Bath Municipal Swing Band, refreshments and a short program of speakers, including representatives of the city, the Maine Arts Commission and the Zorach family.
The ceremony will include a special remembrance of the late Margie Bliss who, with her husband, Arthur, initiated the restoration project for the sculpture and founded the Friends of the Zorach Fountain in 2002, according to an announcement about the event.
At the gathering, the Friends will honor Bliss’ “vision and perseverance and will present an exciting new proposal for improvements to the pond and surroundings.”
