A lot of his horror stories are inspired by places in Maine and he lives those spooky vibes all year round in his home lined with an ornate iron fence decorated with iron spider webs.Īfternoon: After a pit stop by his house, make your way to Treworgy Orchard in Levant.
Once you’ve arrived, head to 47 W Broadway to see the ultimate Fall abode: Steven King’s house. Morning: Start your day by grabbing a coffee from Coffee By Design located in L.L.Bean (I recommend the caramel crème latte!) and hit the road to Bangor, Maine. Book a room at the Harraseekat for the night to rest up for the next day! I recommend the clam chowder or lobster bisque. Take a picture with the giant bean boot, do some shopping (tip from a local: there’s an L.L.Bean outlet in the shops across the street from the flagship store!), and end the day with dinner at The Broad Arrow Tavern, located in the Harraseekat Inn. This is home to L.L.Bean’s flagship location and is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It’s so cute and small! The sun really lights up the tall grass around it at sunset.Įvening: Finish the day in Freeport, Maine, about 15 minutes from Brunswick. You can also check out my favorite lighthouse on your way there, Doubling Point light. It’s a great hike for those who want mountain and beaches in one! The other side of the mountain ends at Popham Beach, where the sand is soft and sparkly because of the quartz pigment in it. If you’re in a hiking mood, check out Morse Mountain in Georgetown. They have all kinds of vendors selling Maine goods! If you make it to Brunswick before noon, there is a farmers market on the Mall and also down the road at Crystal Springs Farm. You can keep walking past the Mall, a park lined with food trucks that turns into an ice skating rink in the Winter! Continue on to Bowdoin College and enjoy the historic grounds and their campus art museum. If you are visiting during October, walk down Maine Street and check out the Halloween window paintings by some of the students in the area. FMI: Event and Tickets.Afternoon: Moving further North (about 30 minutes), make a stop in Brunswick, Maine. Called “One of the best bands from Maine” by Paste Magazine and “The most energetic live show I’ve seen in years” by DC Underground, Crunk Witch blends nerdy, positive, and romantic lyrics with a heavy electro-pop backing. Now that the tourism season has wound down, it would be a great weekend for a Bangor getaway and Crunk Witch, a husband-wife electronic pop act from Presque Isle is playing at the Bangor Arts Exchange from 8 to 11 p.m. I promise this has nothing to do with Halloween. and continues on November 12 and 13 (with a family show on November 10 at 6 p.m.) After a year of having no musicals, the students are back, better than ever, to provide a wacky performance that should please everyone. If you’re a Python fan as well, check out the Camden Hills Regional High School’s production of Spamalot: The School edition in the Strom Theater, a family show that kicks off this weekend at 7 p.m.

Participants can even check out the museum’s “Spatial Relations” for inspiration. From 2 to 4 p.m., artist Alexis Iammarino will be leading the workshop to encourage people to explore sculptural art forms with an array of cardboard that can be printed at stamps, collagraph plates, mobiles, or wall hangings.
