62+ October 2026
OCTOBER
The 62+ Program is an activity group where seniors can get together and socialize while enjoying a variety of different activities, offered more than 15 times per month, year-round! This program is a great way to explore the area and make new friends while staying active. Activities include local fairs, theater trips, concerts, museum visits, shopping trips, bowling, local walking trails, themed luncheons, guest speakers, holiday parties, arts and crafts, boat rides, and much more. Participants are able to drive to most of our activities or we can pick up residents right up at home with one of our mini buses. Registrations for activities take place bi-monthly. If you have any questions, or would like to be added to our monthly mailing list, please contact us at the Recreation office via email at vjunkins@portlandmaine.gov or call us at 808-5445. Please be sure to include your full name, your email address (if you have one), your telephone number and your mailing address.
