Foodiest Small Town” in recognition of the excellence
achieved by our chefs, restaurants, and food purveyors.

event to celebrate and share it. Harvest on the Harbor
is a multi-day culinary festival held each fall on Portland’s
waterfront, and draws foodies from near and far.
FAMI LY FUN
Greater Portland is fun for the whole family, so don’t
leave the kids at home. They’ll love the hands-on exhibits
at the Children’s Museum and a ride on an historic
streetcar, steam train, or Model-T at one of the region’s
transportation museums. Baseball, hockey, and basketball
fans will find big-league entertainment at minor-league
prices at one of Portland’s home-team games. From
amusement parks to wildlife parks, agricultural fairs to
folk-life festivals, there are so many things to entertain
active kids of all ages.
AUTHENT IC ALLURE
It’s all right here: great dining and shopping,
hopping nightlife, outdoor recreation, historical and
cultural attractions, and stunning natural beauty. Its
small scale, accessible waterfront, Old World ambience,
and youthful vibe have propelled Portland to the top of
many national lists of best places to vacation. But you
won’t have to give up the quintessential Maine coast to
enjoy all that Greater Portland has to offer — islands,
lighthouses, beaches, and surf crashing on the rocky
shore are all in proximity of Portland’s vibrant, historic
downtown. Portland, Maine
