Fall in Love with Maine Nature's Canvas
in Autumn Leaves

Changing seasons means new adventures

Maine in the fall is simply spectacular. With mild temperatures, vibrant colors and less visitors than in the busy summer months, it is no wonder Maine continues to be one of the top destinations for leaf peepers and adventurers alike.

Looking to book the perfect getaway? Look no further! We’ve compiled a short list of some of our favorite activities and events this fall on Mount Desert Island.

Spend the day exploring the beauty of the island and then come back in the evenings to a warm fire, craft cocktails, replenishing food and great conversations. 

We can't wait to welcome you here.

LEAF PEEPING

LEAF PEEPING

It wouldn’t be right to create a list and not include the beautiful changing colors of MDI. Fall foliage reports will start in September, but we believe the first and second week in October are ideal for getting the full experience. Take the 27-mile Acadia National Park Loop Road, just minutes from Terramor Outdoor Resort, for some of the best views of the park during the this magical season.

BAR HARBOR FINE ARTS FESTIVAL

BAR HARBOR FINE ARTS FESTIVAL

Perouse the streets of Bar Harbor during the weekend of September 10 to enjoy artwork by local and national artists. This free event is a favorite for locals who get to enjoy the charming downtown without the hustle and bustle of heavy tourist season. Find the perfect memento to take home with you to remember your Acadia escape.

ACADIA NIGHT SKY FESTIVAL

ACADIA NIGHT SKY FESTIVAL

Did you know the skies above Acadia National Park are some of the last pristine, star-filled skies in the eastern United States? It’s here that the Milky Way shines brightest in the largest expanse of the naturally dark sky east of the Mississippi.

After a year postponement, the Acadia Night Sky Festival is back on! Stay with us September 29 – October 3 for a weekend backed with workshops, internationally recognized speakers and hands-on experiences.

TASTE THE SEASON

TASTE THE SEASON

New England has some great beer, and we may be biased, but we think Maine has the best! Fall is a perfect time to get a true taste of Maine at any of the local breweries. Area seasonal rotations are sure to excite your taste buds and quench your thirst.

Don’t want to go far? Not a problem! At our Kitchen [207] bar we serve only the best Maine beers and will have some of the fall flavors on tap
