Announcing 62+ Shopping Trips!
We are excited to announce weekly Wednesday afternoon shopping trips on the mainland! Islanders can take the 12:45pm ferry into town and get picked up at Casco Bay Lines by a dedicated city van. Shoppers will be driven to a different plaza with several store options in the greater Portland area each week and then will be brought back to CBL to take the 4:30pm or 5:35pm ferry back to Peaks. Registration for this “door to door” shopping experience is $10 and can be found below.
Each trip will need a minimum of 5 islanders in order to happen, and the van can accommodate a maximum of 14 passengers. If 5 people are not registered a week before a trip, the trip will be cancelled and the $10 transportation fee will be refunded. Please note that this fee only covers the van transportation costs; registrants will be responsible for their own ferry transit costs.
October + November Shopping Trips:
10/14: Westbrook Shopping Plaza (Market Basket & the Paper Store)
10/21: South Portland Running Hill Road (Target, Barnes & Noble, Sierra Trading Post, Nordstrom Rack)

Participants should be comfortable getting down to the floor (and back up again!). Please come prepared in comfortable clothing and supportive shoes, and bring your own mat if you can.
