There’s more to do in Maine this weekend

Memorial Day weekend is coming up and the weather looks to be in our favor; so if you are looking for a way to spend the weekend with friends and family, look no further than your own backyard. There are plenty of activities for the whole family to participate in… all while staying in Maine.


1. Host a BBQ. This can easily be done on a budget. Offer to supply the location, grill and main dish, and have everyone bring a side dish or dessert. Not only will you get to hang out with friends and family, you never know when someone will bring a new recipe that you will love.

2. Go to the Beach… and bring your own snacks. Maine has one of the largest coastlines, and going to the beach is a free or low cost activity and can be an enormous amount of fun for friends, family and colleagues. Also, during the summer months the beach will be full of people of every age, creating an environment and atmosphere for everyone to enjoy. Just make sure to pack your own lunches and snacks in a cooler. Being prepared with drinks, sandwiches and other items will save you money on concession stands and restaurants that are near the beach.

3. Visit a state park. Did you know that Maine has over 30 state parks? With that many places to choose from you are bound to find something for everyone. If you pack a picnic lunch this will only cost you the park admission fee with plenty of activities for the family.
