The weather is warming and outside summer markets are almost here! Our winter market ends in just a few weeks (on April 23rd) and then we move back outside!
We are kicking off the season on Wednesday, April 27th, in Deering Oaks Park and will remain in Deering Oaks on Wednesdays and Saturdays through Saturday May 14th. Then we will move to Payson Park from Wednesday May 18th through Wednesday June 15th. Then it’s back to Deering Oaks for the remainder of the season (until Thanksgiving). Whew! So many dates to remember, don’t worry we will remind you where to find us. All outside markets run from 7 am to 1 pm and are rain or shine events.
The temporary move is once again due to the Brown Tail Moth situation in Deering Oaks. Every effort is being made by the City of Portland, Maine to protect the trees and park in general.
Beginning in the heart of Portland’s Historic Old Port, we will first head down to the working waterfront and the acclaimed The Holy Donut, skipping the likely line out the door, to indulge along the storied Long Wharf. Meandering back along the iconic cobblestone streets of our donut trail, we’ll make way to the granite built Customs House, imagining a thriving 1800s port of tall ships unloading goods. Onward, past the armory, now a historic gem of a hotel, in search of Captain Mowatt’s remnant canon balls that originally burned down the city via harbor canon fire in 1775. Just up around the corner, is our second stop, Eighty 8 Donuts, once a food truck busting at the welds, now Portland’s newest fried dough all-stars are known for their delectable bite-sized treats all over the state. There’s no better place to appreciate these culinary delights than right along the granite of City Hall! Just beware, this building has burned down three times, along with much of the rest of the city. Continuing on to take in more of the rich history of the Downtown peninsula – our oldest church building, a congregation dating back to 1674, and the picturesque Monument Square at City Center. Then, our final donut stop of the tour- HiFi Donuts, staying true to old world styling while glamorous in new world foodie goodness. By this point, you should be dumbfounded by just how all three of these world class bakeries are within our short storied walk of one another, and agree – this is the sweetest walk there ever was! Only a short jaunt remaining from here, but much to take in of our lobstering history and charming architecture. We couldn’t be more excited to celebrate these donut shops and our city with you. See you soon!
