All weekend, those looking for an active, restorative, or even spiritual experience can immerse themselves in the Maine Yoga Fest at the Southern Maine Community College campus, returning after its hiatus. According to Portland Old Port, it’s a three-day celebration with yoga workshops, live music, wellness vendors, delicious food trucks, and the backdrop of Casco Bay blues.

Now, if food is more your scene, hop on the Lobster Roll Cruise with Fogg’s Water Taxi. Departing from The Porthole at Custom House Wharf, this midday cruise hands out classic Maine lobster rolls and chips while gliding past historic lighthouses and harbor views with a local drink in hand. Portland Old Port says it’s must-try coastal flavor, both on deck and in every bite.

Sunday offers the ever-popular Drag Brunch, as listed by VisitPortland, a lively way to wrap up the week, eating and cheering along to performances.

Throughout the week, there are also historical tours, organ demonstrations, trivia nights, ethnic food tours, and vintage pop-up markets, all within city limits.
