Let’s kick off the summer season and tip our hats to all the local businesses that make Portland a go-to destination to live, eat, work, play and vacation.

Join the party to mingle with local business owners and enthusiasts, enjoy apps on us, and sip drinks from the new Freedom's Edge Cider Co.

We’ll also have a raffle to win prizes from local businesses and a hat toss to celebrate the official kick off of Portland Buy Local’s new mission!

Don’t miss a short presentation from Portland’s new economic development director, Gregory Watson, to learn more about how a strong locally owned business community improves the health and vitality of our city.

Register for free and don’t forget your hat. But in case you do, or if you want to upgrade yours, Suger will have hats for “rent” from their Biddeford Ball collection.
