Pajamas are OK for sale in Bar Harbor

BAR HARBOR – Some pajama-clad shoppers won’t even have to get out of bed to participate in the town’s annual early bird sale.

Bar Harbor is adding a bed race to the event, which caters to bargain hunters willing to roll out and start shopping as early as 6 a.m.

The sale will take place on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, making it the one day of the year where it’s socially acceptable to shop in pajamas. Some retailers will offer discounts to those wearing PJs.

After checking out the sales, shoppers may participate in the bed race. Winners will get gift certificates.
