It’s that time of year again…the time for snow, lights, holiday cheer, and Merry Madness! Every year, Portland’s Old Port shops extend their hours until 10PM to help you finish your holiday shopping. It’s worth braving the cold to enjoy an evening out with friends and family while you shop ’til you drop!

The night kicks off at the Eastland Park Hotel from 5-6 with free hors d’oeuvres, prizes, and information/maps of stores that are participating. This is where you can get your signature Merry Madness wine glass that some stores will refill as you shop around! We participate every year and it is such a fun evening! The Old Port comes alive with music, food, live entertainment, and great shopping. Another great aspect of the evening is to check out the shops that have decorated their windows and you can vote on which one is your favorite! We won the “window walk” last year.

Shop, eat and be MERRY!

Merry Madness December 17, Thursday, from 5-10PM
