Class of 2026 Takes the Stage Tonight

Brewer, ME · June 5, 2026

The humidity is holding off just in time for the graduation gowns to stay crisp for tonight’s walk across the stage. Plenty of celebration is in the air today.

📰 The Lead

Brewer High School’s Class of 2026 will officially turn their tassels tonight at the Brewer Auditorium. The ceremony begins at 7:00 PM, but expect the parking lots and surrounding side streets to fill up well before the first notes of Pomp and Circumstance. This year’s class has been particularly noted for their community service hours, contributing significantly to local food drives and trail maintenance over the last four years. For those not attending, be mindful of heavy foot traffic near State Street and the Wilson Street corridor between 6:00 PM and 9:00 PM. It’s a milestone night for the students and a busy one for local restaurants, so if you’re planning to dine out, a reservation is your best friend.
