Alewives Fish Ladder Restoration Festival
The Alewives started their annual run a little over a week ago leaving the Great Salt Bay and climbing the fish ladder which takes them to Damariscotta Lake, their final destination.
Next weekend, over Memorial Day Weekend, the annual Fish Ladder Restoration Festival takes place in Damariscotta Mills. It is a fun weekend, and an impressive thing to see birds of prey scoping things out looking for their fish dinner. Photographers come from all over the world hoping to get that perfect shot.
Make our Newcastle ME Bed and Breakfast your destination when planning your Memorial Day Weekend getaway. Give us a call or reserve online today!

Hospitality for Habitat
Spring has definitely arrived here at Newcastle Inn and that means that the start of Hospitality for Habitat is just around the corner. This year the event begins on Monday, April 22 and runs through Thursday, May 23. This is the 10th year that the Maine Innkeepers Association has organized this fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity.
This is the fifth year that Newcastle Inn has participated. Over the previous four years the guests of Newcastle Inn have donated almost $9,000.00 to Habitat for Humanity.
The rules are pretty simple, stay two nights in any room that is priced at $200.00 or higher and you receive a 50% discount. In return you make a minimum donation of $35.00 to Habitat for Humanity. Many guests have donated $35.00 each night, or more! This offer is available seven days a week.
So, visit Newcastle Inn during a beautiful time of year, stay in a room for 50% off AND help out a worthy cause. See you soon!

Christmas Market at the Coastal Maine Gardens
The Christmas Market returns to the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens on Saturday, December 8, 2012. This is a wonderful opportunity to purchase one-of-a-kind, hand crafted items from Maine artisans and craftsmen. If you are looking for a unique gift that can't be found in the local shopping mall, then this is the place to shop. One of my favorites is Black Dinah Chocolatiers. Somehow those gifts never make it to the intended recipient....
The inn is decorated for the holiday season and I have lots of wrapping paper, bows and ribbons for you to wrap your gifts. So, consider a trip to our Newcastle, Maine B&B for a little getaway before the busy holiday season kicks into gear.

Damariscotta Pumpkinfest & Regatta
Hard to believe, but Columbus Day weekend is less than two weeks away! That of course means that things around here are gearing up for the Damariscotta Pumpkinfest and Regatta. I say it every year, but this is truly something that everyone should see, particularly the regatta on Sunday, October 7 when these enormous pumpkins are turned into BOATS! Yes, that is right, boats with outboard motors attached and then they have races.
Newcastle Inn is an ideal home base to attend all of the wonderful activities planned for that weekend in the area. There are just a few rooms left, so call our Newcastle Maine Bed and Breakfast today to make your reservation!

Common Ground Country Fair - Unity, Maine
Every September there is eager anticipation for the annual Common Ground Country Fair in Unity, Maine. This is a fair like no other and celebrates the rural and agricultural traditions of Maine. There truly is something for everyone here: sheepherding demonstrations, a farmer's market, the Maine Indian Basketmakers, folk arts and the list goes on and on.
From our Newcastle Maine Bed and Breakfast it is a beautiful, scenic drive up to the fairgrounds. It is a perfect way to spend a beautiful fall weekend.

One of the places that they visited was the Pemaquid Point Lighthouse. That day was made complete with a stop at Reny's in Damariscotta.
At the end of the the day Dolce took The Red Chair to one of her favorite places of all, Dodge Point, for an afternoon walk.
