See What Biddeford~Saco Has To Offer

I’d like to take the opportunity this month to welcome all of our visitors to the Biddeford-Saco region.  The weather has been beautiful and we sure hope you are enjoying yourselves, whether at the beach or at our amusement parks.  Biddeford-Saco has so much for you to do.  We have movie theaters and museums, great restaurants, hiking and biking trails, a beautiful river and gorgeous Saco Bay. We encourage you to visit our downtown district which has a variety of stores from locally owned and operated to national chain retailers. 

As you are taking in the sights and enjoying some shopping, please take a moment to seek out our Chamber of Commerce members as well as our Buy Local campaign participants.  They will have stickers in their windows with either the Chamber or Buy Local logo-many will have both.  We believe you will find friendly and helpful customer service along with the products and services you are seeking.  If you need help or if you would like some advice and information on the Biddeford-Saco area, please don’t hesitate to call the Chamber staff, we will be glad to speak with you.

If you are enjoying your summertime visit to Biddeford-Saco, have you ever considered coming during the other seasons?  We have so much to offer.  Fall brings fantastic scenery and affordable rates.  Come enjoy our hotels, motels, and bed and breakfast homes. You can enjoy leaf peeping within a short drive and better still - stay within budget.  Lobstermen enjoy good catches in the fall and fresh seafood is both abundant and reasonably priced.  Most restaurants are still open and offer relaxing atmospheres and delicious menus. You can fish and hunt, walk in Ferry Beach State Park or take in a show at Biddeford City Theater.  

Winters aren’t half as bad as they are made out to be.  And besides, this is Maine, we know how to move snow and drive safely.  There’s something unique about the views at the seashore in the winter-a stark contrast to summer but oh so beautiful.  A short drive inland and the views shift to fields of snow and snow capped mountains.  Winter is a great time to seek out Chamber members for cross country skiing, sledding, ice skating, a refreshing hot chocolate or an adult beverage or two.

Spring in Maine is a sight to behold.  Everything is coming to life.  Brooks, streams and rivers are flowing at capacity from the snow melt.  The sun is bright and warm. Farmers and fishermen have begun getting the fields and the gear ready for another season of plenty.  Maple sap is running and being cooked into syrup and candy.  Storefronts are painting, washing windows and getting in new inventory.  Spring is a great time to check out our hardware stores, lawn care experts and landscapers.  The people of Biddeford-Saco will welcome you year round with their friendliness.  Isn’t it time for you to consider spending more time in Biddeford-Saco?  Give us a call and let us help you with your plans.
