Who’s Open For The Holidays

Where to celebrate the holidays in Portland, Maine

Restaurants, Shops, and Stays, oh my!

Greater Portland is a magical place to visit any season, but our snow-dusted cobblestone streets and glittering winter lights come alive over the holidays. From Thanksgiving dinners with turkey, honey ham, and all the fixings to a performance of the Magic of Christmas with symphonic renditions of holiday classics for the Portland Symphony’s 100th anniversary this Holiday season. There is a little something for everyone over this festive time of year. Visit a decked-up Victoria Mansion if you’re a history buff or bring the kiddos to the Polar Express for a family friendly getaway.

Stay tuned to find all the shops, restaurants, and attractions open over the holidays.
