Here Are Suggestions for Things to do In Maine Today (Labor Day)

Happy Labor Day! Hopefully, you have a well-deserved break from the labor you usually do Monday through Friday. The weather today is going to be arguably some of the best we've seen all year. Sunny, low winds, highs in the low-70s. Very nice. What do we do on this beautiful Monday holiday with tourists and crowds overwhelming majority of the popular Maine destinations before we kiss summer so long for 2024?

Here Are some Suggestions Mainers Came Up with to Make the Most of Labor Day

Randi Platt - Going to the Blue Hill Fair!!!!

It is the last day of the Blue Hill Fair and it was suggested by many to hit up the fair today for the closing festivities that go until 8pm tonight. Rides, doughboys, games, comedy, and more. Most importantly, it's far away from any tourist traps. Click here for the schedule of everything happening today at the Blue Hill Fair.

Take Advantage of the Day off in Maine for Home Improvements

Paula J Cyr - Preparing the home for winter.
Melissa Long - Home improvements
Amber Bussey - Staying home! Lol
Patten-Bryant Penny - Having a yard sale

Many suggested to just stay home. That is certainly not a bad idea. There are plenty of new shows to watch on the multiple streaming platforms that our hard-earned labor pays for.

A few recommended making home improvements, preparing for winter, and having a garage sale on this Labor Day. All great ideas for a day off in Maine. It's also a good idea to have the Q106.5 app on loud or listen to Q106.5 on your smart speaker to help keep you motivated throughout the tedious chores. "Alexa, play Q 1 oh 6 point 5!"

But, Again, the Weather in Maine Will is Perfect for Labor Day

Lauren Dowling - The whole family is heading into the woods away from people on our wheelers.
Jilly Bean - Going on a motorcycle ride to New Brunswick and come back through Campobello Island with friends (from both countries).
Lance Thibodeau - Going to be in the Motorcycle for the day and as much as I can over the weekend

LOVE the motorcycle ride suggestion. It will be hard to find a better day to ride the isolated back roads of Maine. What about a hike that isn't advertised to people visiting from out of town? Maybe packing a lunch and having a picnic at the peak? Below are some recommendations for fairly easy hikes with amazing views, especially on a clear day like today.
