More than 40 area non-profits will use the event to promote their programs. At noon, the city will announce the 2019 Citizen of the Year along with the winners of the Youth Award, the Al Smith Community Spirit Award and the Community Project Award.

The City’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee will be offering free bike registration through the Bath Police Department and will lead a guided bike tour of Butler Cove at 9:30 a.m.
A flu vaccination clinic, available through CHANS Home Health & Hospice, will be located under the park pavilion.
Midcoast Maine Community Action will be hosting a touch-a-truck event (in concurrence with Citizen Involvement Day) for families in the parking lot behind the Custom’s House from 9:00 a.m. to noon. The first hour will be silent and sensory-friendly.
