When the summer heat starts to retreat and cool air sweeps in, you know it’s fall in Maine. The green of one season gives way to a vast array of colors everywhere you look. This beautiful display is something that we have celebrated for years and years. One of the best Maine fall Festivals is coming back which has been celebrating the season annually for over 20 years, and this year they are coming back for an event you will not want to miss. The Freeport Fall Festival is a great place to get outside and enjoy the crisp fall air with all your fellow Mainers. 

With over 200 vendors for culinary arts, crafts, family activities, live music, and a whole lot more this is one of the best fall festivals in Maine and you will want to attend. This event will take place either in September or October each year so make sure you check the website for the exact date. For all up-to-date information please visit the Freeport Fall Festival website for any more information and then mark your calendars for this awesome event. While you are at the festival don’t forget to stop by and shop at L.L.Bean, it is a Maine tradition after all. If you are still in the fall spirit come back later when they host the Camp Sunshine’s Pumpkin Festival! 

If you want a great place to take a fall walk then we know an excellent arboretum you should try, but it’s really good to visit any time of the year. 

The Freeport Fall Festival transforms this little town into a bustling and lively autumn celebration.

This is considered to be one of the greatest of all the fall festivals in Maine so you won't want to miss it. The event will bring together over 200 vendors from food to artists. This event is a three-day festival that is spread out across the L.L. Bean campus, Freeport Village Station, Key Bank lawn, and the corners of West & Main Streets. The three days are packed full of activities and fun so make sure to check the schedule of events throughout the weekend. We will put a link to the events website at the end of this article.
Throughout the celebration, there will be tons of activities that are perfect for kids. A culmination of all of these things that makes this one of the best festivals in Maine.

Glitter tattoos, face painting, and crafts will all be taking place at various times during the three-day event. If you make your way to the L.L. Bean Discovery Park then you will see a massive lineup of musical talent. This stage has been shared with some pretty incredible nationally recognized talent over the years and this year will be no different. If you have seen a live performance here you know you are in for a treat.
Wonderful food options can be found at the Freeport Fall Festival.

There will be a wide variety of food trucks and culinary arts to indulge in. One of my favorites in previous years was Athena’s Cantina Food Truck with a mix of Latin-infused foods.

Where are some of the best places to see fall foliage in Maine?  

New England has some of the best fall colors in the country and we are blessed with some pretty amazing places to see it. Here are some of my favorite places to see fall foliage in Maine:

  • Camden, especially on top of Mount Battie.
  • Acadia National Park, you can’t go wrong with anywhere in the park but Jordan Pond is especially pretty. 
  • A walk through The Viles Arboretum in Augusta.
  • Vaughan Woods in Hallowell which is known by the locals as Hobbit Land.
  • In the White Mountains, you will get the best views in New Hampshire but drive on over to Fryeburg and in the surrounding area to get fantastic views of the fall foliage-covered peeks.
