On the Road stops in 2020
As always, Mainebiz will start its On the Road series in Portland, at Ocean Gateway on March 12.

Stops in 2020 are planned in Saco/Biddeford in April, Damariscotta in May, Presque Isle in June, Dover-Foxcroft in September and Machias in October.
Please check the online Mainebiz Events Calendar regularly for dates and venues.
