When is National Maine Day?
Thursday December 21stNational Maine Day, December 21st, honors the 23rd state to join the union, as well as the most eastern one.
When European explorers first arrived, Wabanaki tribes were settlers, and Maine would later be colonized by French and English settlers, leaving Maine's status in constant debate. The state was carved out of Massachusetts as part of the Missouri Compromise in 1820, fast forward to 1820.
Maine is a moment to experience the light and sounds at a pace that's more natural today, with her rugged shores and idyllic New England backdrop. Lobster, which was once so popular it was served to prisoners and servants, is now a delicacy and just one of Maine's many ocean delights.
Artists in Maine thrive. For centuries, the state has inspired poets, writers, artists, painters, and others, from fiction to landscapes. Maine is open all year round, from Acadia to Kennebunk, from the highlands to the valleys.
