What airport should we fly into?

The closest airport is Portland International Jetport (PWM), located about 15 minutes from downtown Portland. It’s a small, easy airport with rental cars and ride-share services readily available.

If you’re looking for more flight options, Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) is another good choice and is about a 2–2.5 hour drive north of Portland.

How do we get around once we arrive?

Portland is very easy to navigate. Guests typically use:

Ride-share services (Uber & Lyft)

Rental cars

Walking, especially if staying downtown

What will the weather be like in early October?

Early October in Portland is classic Maine fall weather. Expect daytime highs in the mid-50s to low-60s and cooler evenings in the 40s. The air can be crisp, especially near the water, and there’s always a chance of light rain.

What should we pack?

We recommend packing layers! A light jacket or sweater, comfortable walking shoes, and something warm for the evening will go a long way. Fall colors are usually in full swing, so feel free to lean into cozy, autumn-friendly outfits.

Where should we stay?

We’ll be sharing hotel recommendations and room block information on this site. Portland has a great mix of hotels, inns, and short-term rentals, but October is a popular time of year, so we encourage booking early.

What is there to do in Portland?

So much! If you’re making a weekend of it, some favorite activities include:

Exploring the Old Port for shopping, dining, and waterfront views

Enjoying Portland’s food scene (seafood lovers, you’re in the right place)

Visiting nearby lighthouses or coastal towns

Taking in Maine’s beautiful fall foliage

We’ll share more local favorites soon.

When should we arrive?

Most guests plan to arrive on Friday, October 2, and depart on Sunday, October 4, to enjoy the full weekend and celebrate with us. We will be hosting a welcome party on Friday evening. More info to come soon!
