2023 TBD
What could be more romantic and relaxing than escaping for a weekend away, brisk beach walks, drives along Ocean Ave capturing photos of the breaking waves at Walkers Point, and an overnight retreat while enjoying gourmet food and quiet times away. For years local restauranteurs and shopkeepers have celebrated February as a time for romance and celebrating love.
Special events during the month of February in Kennebunkport include horse drawn carriage rides through Dock Square, romantic candlelight dinner specials. Art galleries and boutiques throughout Kennebunkport and Kennebunk decorate their store fronts, “Painting the Town Red” with red hearts and twinkling red and white lights to welcome couples. Chocolate tastings and wine and cheese parties at local galleries are on-going throughout the month. An Ice Bar at One Dock, The Kennebunk Chocolate Extravaganza, and Skating Party in Kennebunk are a few February highlights.
In the spirit of “Painting the Port Red” shops offer “red tag” specials and participating Kennebunkport and Kennebunk restaurants feature “red plate” lunch and dinner specials.
