Senior (62+) Shopping Trips with Portland Parks and Recreation
Announcing 62+ Shopping Trips!
We are excited to announce weekly Wednesday afternoon shopping trips on the mainland! Islanders can take the 12:45pm ferry into town and get picked up at Casco Bay Lines by a dedicated city van. Shoppers will be driven to a different plaza with several store options in the greater Portland area each week and then will be brought back to CBL to take the 4:30pm or 5:35pm ferry back to Peaks. Registration for this “door to door” shopping experience is $10 and can be found here: https://portlandme.myrec.com/info/activities/program_details.aspx?ProgramID=29913
Each trip will need a minimum of 5 islanders in order to happen, and the van can accommodate a maximum of 14 passengers. If 5 people are not registered a week before a trip, the trip will be cancelled and the $10 transportation fee will be refunded. Please note that this fee only covers the van transportation costs; registrants will be responsible for their own ferry transit costs.
