Columbus day

[Kate45]

We will be in Portland Maine on Columbus Day. As a Cdn, I know what is open and closed on our Thanksgiving but not sure about the USA. Will is be business as usual, or will somethings be unavailable? Thanks

You can expect banks, schools and government offices to be closed.  Stores will be open.  Some workers do get the holiday off with pay but many do not.  Our Thanksgiving will be next month.

For visitors, it should be business as usual. It's a great place for lobster, and there are several "foodie tours" to indulge in.

It is now called Indigenous Peoples Day in Maine.
