Criteria for Events
VisitMaine.com welcomes a wide range of events that reflect the spirit and culture of Maine, helping visitors experience Maine like a local. This includes everything from large, well-known, and beloved events to smaller community events such as farmers markets, festivals, and live music, as well as cultural experiences like workshops and historical talks.
We ask that events meet the following criteria:
🎯 Audience: Events must appeal to a substantial majority of visitors to Maine.
📍 Location: The event must take place in Maine.
⏳ Duration: Events must be no longer than two weeks.
✨ Distinct & Non-Recurring: Events must be special or unique – clearly different from your regular offerings – and may not be part of a recurring schedule (e.g., weekly classes, monthly tours).
🗓️ Series Submission: If your event spans multiple dates, combine them into a single event listing with multiple date ranges, rather than submitting each date as a separate event.
