Greater Fort Kent Area Chamber of Commerce
2026 Summer Passport of Fun
Spend a summer day following river roads, hometown diners, local shops, trail views, and landmarks that tell the story of northern Maine.
Northern Maine, One Stop at a Time
"Some of the best adventures aren't found on a map.
They're discovered one stop at a time."
Follow the Passport from breakfast to river views, from Main Street to quiet landmarks, and let the day unfold at a St. John Valley pace.
Welcome to the Adventure
Your Passport Awaits.
The Summer Passport of Fun isn't about checking places off a list.
It's about taking the scenic route.
Stopping somewhere you've never stopped before.
Meeting local business owners.
Finding a favorite restaurant.
Watching the sunset from a new overlook.
Creating memories throughout the Greater Fort Kent Area that you'll remember long after summer ends.
Every stop has its own story.
Some are hidden waterfalls. Some are family-owned restaurants. Some are historic landmarks. Some are quiet places where you'll simply want to stay a little longer.
The Summer Passport of Fun invites you to slow down, explore somewhere new, and experience the people, businesses, history, and landscapes that make the Greater Fort Kent Area unlike anywhere else.
