Don’t Spend a Fortune on the Fourth!

A rare mid-week day-off is fast approaching with the 4th of July holiday this Wednesday! While the break provides an opportunity for rest, relaxation and fun, it also provides extra temptations to spend money. From sparklers for the kids, to your favorite barbeque foods, to gas for a road trip, there are many ways the holiday can wreak havoc on your budget.

Luckily, there are a variety of festivities occurring throughout the state that are festive, fun and free! From parades during the day, or fireworks at night, there are many ways you can enjoy the day without spending a cent. Click here for a list of 4th of July events happening in Maine.

If there are some extra funds in your gas budget for a road trip and you find yourself in need of cash, take advantage of the Surcharge-free SURF ATMs you’re sure to encounter on your way. With the majority of financial institutions closed for the holiday, these convenient ATMs will give you fee-free account access to keep your celebrations in full swing!
