Spring

Spring
Choose Your Own Maine Adventure
Like those first green bursts of grass after the thaw, spring and summer bring color and fun to Maine. From outdoor water adventures to afternoons of outlet shopping, the possibilities are endless. In the spring, you can still enjoy skiing at Sunday River or spy the famed warbler migration from a perch on Saddleback Mountain. Maine Maple Sunday is a family-favorite event in March.

Fall
Choose Your Own Maine Adventure
With our lively harvest festivals, sparkling clear weather, and brilliant display of foliage, fall is a wonderful time to visit Maine. Our vivid maples and oaks create a dramatic backdrop, whether you want to hike the North Woods, take a bike ride around Peaks Island, or play golf at one of the state’s many country clubs. Fall also brings food and wine celebrations like the Damariscotta Pumpkinfest & Regatta, the Acadia Oktoberfest and the Great Maine Apple Day in Unity. The Cumberland County Fair and the Fryeburg Fair are a few of Maine’s many fall agricultural fairs. Colorful farmers’ markets and produce stands brim with pumpkins and gourds. Apple orchards and pumpkin patches invite you to “pick your own.” Birders can spy migrating hawks, warblers and shorebirds. Fall is also the peak season for Maine lobster.
