Tips & Advice
- Park once in one of the free lots off Main St. (Rte. 1) and explore on foot, since the village shops, galleries and antique stores are all within walking distance.
- Grab a Marketfest brochure early in your visit so you know about the special sales and events at the shops that weekend.
- Ask the shop owners for gift ideas, since they're on site through Marketfest and can help you find the right gift for each person.
- Make time for the pop-up Holiday Gift Shop, which carries one-of-a-kind artisan-made gifts you won't find in the regular village shops.
- Dress warmly and wear comfortable shoes, since you'll be walking between shops in midcoast Maine in early December.
