Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens will release 10,000 tickets to Mainers at no cost for them to visit on Friday May 31, Saturday June 1, or Sunday June 2. Advance registration is required for this very popular event.

Tickets will be available online at MaineGardens.org starting at 10 am on May 14 on a first come, first served basis and limited to 8 per household. There will be a small number of tickets for sale each day for non-Mainers who visit the peninsula. Mainers looking for free tickets should select the “Maine Day” tickets. Please note that a valid Maine ID will be required for entry. There will be no refunds or exchanges for free Maine Days tickets. The Gardens will be open rain or shine. Carpool with other Maine family and friends and make a day of it on the Boothbay peninsula exploring local shops, restaurants, and galleries.
