You might be a Mainer, or at least know the state pretty well, if you’ve done some of these summer things.

Many of our nice weather activities come from a long tradition like fairs, eating lobster and picking blueberries.

Some things you can only do in Maine like shopping at L.L. Bean or going to one of the state beaches.

You Might be a Mainers if You do These 7 Things in the Summer:

L.L. Bean

L.L. Bean is a must. You can only do it here. Most Mainers have been there. Many went to the original store before it was remodeled. Seeing one of their free outdoor summer concerts should be on everybody’s list.

Fresh Maine Lobster

Lobster Rolls are a staple. We’re known all over the world for our fresh Maine lobster. Grabbing a sandwich on the waterfront is a great combination. You know something about Maine if you’ve had a lobster sandwich here.

Maine Blueberries

Maine Blueberries are also famous. You know you're a Mainer if you have spent a summer afternoon in a blueberry field. A really fun thing is go hiking and find wild ones. That’s so Mainer.

Beaches

Potatoes from Aroostook County are legendary. The state’s known for it. When you have a fully loaded baked potato in Maine, then you’ve arrived. If you’ve ever stopped at a roadside stand to buy farm fresh, then you’re living life like a Mainer.

State Fairs
