What's Going on in Maine This Fall
As the leaves start to change and the air becomes crisper, Southern Maine comes alive with vibrant fall activities. Whether you're looking for family-friendly outings, delicious fair food, or a dose of nature, I have you covered! Here is my guide to some of the best local events and recommendations for a memorable season.
Fall Fairs
Fairs are a fun family outing in the fall and I know I always love getting my fair food fix!

Cumberland Fair - September 24-30
Fryeburg Fair - October 1-8
Apple Picking
One of my family’s favorite things to do in the fall is to get out and do some apple picking. Here are some great orchard options in the Southern Maine area.
Libby & Sons in Limerick
Brackett’s Orchard in Limington
Randall Orchard in Standish
Hiking
Hiking in the fall is one of the best ways to see the foliage and enjoy some fresh air. Bradbury Mountain is a great family-friendly option just a short drive from Portland.
Breweries
Funky Bow Beer Company in Lyman is a fun way to spend an afternoon outside enjoying a fresh local brew & some wood-fired pizza! It’s kid and dog-friendly too!
