While Labor Day weekend marks the traditional end of summer, there are still plenty of things to do in southern Maine. The weather remains warm during the day allowing for some great beach time. Southen Maine boasts several beaches that are accessible. Since many schools in the region are already back in session, it can be a bit less crowded than the peak summer weeks.
There are also dog-friendly beaches. There’s also great mini-golf and Plenty of shopping. You can try thrift shopping, visit LL Bean or the outlets in Kittery or Freeport. Art enthusiasts can vist local galleries, the Portland Art Museum, the Ogunquit Museum or one of the hundred of local museums, like the Brick Store Museum in Kennebunk. We love two of the area museums that focus on transportation: The Seashore Trolley Museum and the Maine Classic Car Museum. If it rains, our list of favorite activities is here.
In addition to these activities there are also pub trivia nights, live music and outdoor fun. Here are some of the events happening in the region. We will add more as we find out about them.
