Interact with local business owners while learning about Portland’s rich maritime history. Walk the Working Waterfront’s mission is to offer access and first hand experiences for community members in an effort to expand knowledge of Portland’s working waterfront.
Celebrate the people, businesses, and infrastructure that comprise the heart of Casco Bay’s ocean economy. From Becky’s Diner to the Maine State Pier, we welcome you onto Portland’s working wharves to tour vessels, see real working gear & hands-on exhibits, ask questions about the marine industry and sea farming with commercial fishermen, and most importantly to celebrate Maine’s coastal cultural identity and elevate the value and attention paid to our extraordinary working waterfront.
