Welcome in fall by attending the 5th annual Autumn Equinox gathering at Maine Audubon. The gorgeous Gilsland Farm Audubon Center in Falmouth is a lush sanctuary where you’ll find live music, local food trucks and local beer and wine as summer is sent packing to give way to what is arguably Maine’s most picturesque season. Festivities include lawn games and walking tours of the grounds, which are situated along the Presumpscot River estuary. Proceeds from tickets support Maine Audubon.

Things sure are getting sassy in Lewiston!

Find out and laugh yourself silly as you come to realize that getting older doesn’t have to be a drag, it can be quite fabulous.
