Greater Portland is a shoppers paradise, overflowing with Maine-made crafts, clothing and food, as well as imported specialties. 

• Stroll down the cobblestone streets of Portland's Old Port and browse the rows of unique boutiques.
• Antique lovers will want to browse for treasures at shops and fairs throughout the area. 
• Not to be missed in South Portland, with over 140 shops, the Maine Mall is Maine's largest indoor shopping center. 
• Discover the abundant bargains to be found in the Kittery and Freeport outlets. 

Freeport, in addition to hosting many name-brand outlets, is home to the world-famous outdoor outfitter, L.L. Bean. You?ll find just about anything you could need to explore Maine's great outdoors at the L.L. Bean flagship store, open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.  After an afternoon of shopping you can enjoy a rest beside the indoor trout pond and the kids can try their prowess on the moving rock-climbing wall.  On Saturday evenings throughout the summer, L.L. Bean presents free outdoor concerts in Discovery Park; bring a blanket or portable chairs and enjoy another form of entertainment besides hunting the best deals and latest fashions. 

During the Holiday season, you won't want to miss out on the special Light Up Your Holidays in Downtown Portland and Freeport's Sparkle Weekends, with plenty of hot cocoa and horse-drawn carriages.
