BOWDOIN — The town of Bowdoin’s will celebrate the 230th anniversary of its incorporation with displays and activities, trucks and antique cars, food, live music and a 5K run/walk at an all-ages celebration.

The event will happen on Saturday at Bowdoin Central School, 1460 Main St.

Historically, the Bowdoin community came together to celebrate Bowdoin Harvest Days, which included a parade, craft fair, BBQ and fair-like events including a talent show. This tradition stopped around 10 years ago, but members of the community and volunteers are hoping to revive that tradition.

Saturday’s event starts with a 5K run/walk to benefit the Bowdoin Central School Parent-Teacher-Community Club. Registration is from 8-9 a.m. and the race starts at 9 a.m. It costs $5 for ages 13 and under and $10 for ages 14 and older. After the 5K, at 10 a.m., there will be a fun run for kids.

From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. the free Bowdoin Community Day celebration will be open for visitors. Indoor and outdoor booths will provide displays and activities focused on local history, culture and nature. There will be live music and lunch for sale by Bowdoin Central School from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Visitors will get a chance to see a fire truck, police cruiser, farming and logging equipment and antique cars.

A town bus tour will leave from the school at 10:30 a.m., sponsored by Roy’s Tire and Auto.
