Although apple season is upon us a little early this year, let’s not jump into the typical fall season activities just yet. Why not enjoy this beautiful weekend in Freeport, outside, in Discovery Park on the L.L. Bean campus. Enjoy over 50 booths of talented artists, listen to live music, eat food and maybe squeeze in some shopping. Plenty of fun for kids too! Free admission and parking! Festivities begin at noon on Saturday and 10 am on Sunday.
