Spring Cleanup

Volunteers meet up at the Loon and then go around town picking up all the trash and litter that has appeared over the winter. Last year in 3 hours we picked up over 40 bags of trash! Let’s keep Lincoln beautiful! 
 

 

 

Bike Rodeo

The Bicycle Coalition of Maine , Lincoln PD, and area businesses put on this fun event for children ages 10 and under.  It’s a safety course, there’s a big BBQ put on by the Knights of Columbus and lots of giveaways, including a chance to win a new bicycle. 

 

 

 

 

 

MSG Gary Gordon Day
In 2018, the Town of Lincoln paid our respects to our Hometown Hero, MSG Gary Gordon. We held a day of patriotic events to celebrate his memory. MSG Gary Gordon was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor posthumously in 1993 for his heroics in Operation Gothic Serpent in the Battle of Mogadishu, Somalia. We were honored to have Senator Susan Collins as a keynote speaker. We also had the 195th  Maine Army National Guard Band perform. 

 

 

 

Town Wide Yard Sale

We held our first ever Town Wide Yard Sale in 2018, and the proceeds from the signup were donated to the MSG Gary Gordon MOH Memorial Fund. It was a really big success and we are already looking forward to next year. 

 

 

 

Loon Festival

The Loon Festival is Lincoln’s biggest annual event.  The Loon Festival features The River Drivers Supper, a 3 on 3 basketball tournament, The Redneck Regatta, The Loon Festival Parade, lots of great food, great musical performances and a giant fireworks display.
