Seasonal Eats
Meeting attendees will want to take advantage of the seasonal flavors cooked-up at local restaurants when they’re here. Enjoy winter’s charm in the Old Port, raft during a spring high-water release, pick apples at a local farm, or go sailing on the bay—there’s always plenty of group activities to do to make the most of the time you’ve chosen to meet in Maine.
Annual Events
Give attendees something to look forward to beyond the agenda. The skies fill with the sounds of outdoor concerts throughout the summer and into fall at unique venues like Thompson’s Point. Annual festivals celebrate everything from the bounty of autumn’s harvest like at the Freeport Fall Festival by Visit Freeport or the Cumberland County Fair featuring Pine Tree Helicopters. There is no shortage of activities during the delights of winter- whether indoor or outdoor, experience awaits for everyone. When you hold your next meeting in Maine, you may run out of time, but never things to do!
Affordable Stays
Consider Portland, Maine in winter or spring. These quieter seasons can offer more room to work with your budget while giving attendees plenty to enjoy beyond the meeting room. Finding affordable meeting accommodations in Maine can be a breeze if you stay flexible.
