Seriously, there's something to satisfy every palate in Bangor—even the pickiest of eaters.

In 2023, Bangor's restaurant scene flourished with new favorites joining the mix and existing ones thriving. Additionally, Bangor benefited from bustling tourism and foot traffic, drawn in part by another year of spectacular summer concerts at the Maine Savings Amphitheater on the Bangor Waterfront.

2023 was certainly a standout year for dining and entertainment in Bangor, and 2024 has some seriously big shoes to fill.

In addition to the concerts on the Bangor Waterfront, Maine is already known as 'Vacationland.'

That means tourists were out in full force last year for another post-COVID summer in Maine, and we’re expecting a lot of the same this year.

Despite the occasional gloomy weather in Maine last year, the mild winter we just had has set a promising tone, and hopefully, this summer will be sunny, making outdoor dining a whole lot more enjoyable.
