There’s a whole bunch of other Fourth of July fun to be had, including Bath Heritage Days, which starts with a parade Thursday and keeps the patriotic party going through Sunday.

You can also extend the celebration of America’s birthday with a free performance by the U.S. Army Field Band’s Soldier’s Chorus. The Sunday afternoon show is at the Opera House at Boothbay Harbor.

Thinking outside the Independence Day box, there’s plenty of other fabulous stuff happening, including the musical “Crazy for You” playing all weekend at Ogunquit Playhouse and Jason Mraz performing live Sunday in Bangor.
