Bar Harbor is the Gateway to Acadia National Park

Bar Harbor is a town on Mount Desert Island along Maine’s Frenchman Bay. It serves as a gateway to the mountains and cliffs of neighboring Acadia National Park, one of America’s most visited national parks. While the Bar Harbor region is best known for its outdoor activities, its small museums, cultural landmarks, and historically significant structures highlight a varied past and present.

On the Green at Kebo Valley Club

This year, we’re heading to the fairways for a classic conference favorite. Join fellow attendees and vendors for a memorable afternoon of golf at the historic Kebo Valley Club, nestled in the heart of Bar Harbor. Enjoy friendly competition, stunning Bar Harbor scenery, and lunch on the course as you connect with colleagues in a relaxed, social setting.

Not a Golfer? Enjoy Bar Harbor Your Way

Not golfing? No problem. While golfers head to Kebo Valley Club, non-golfers will enjoy lunch at the hotel before choosing how to spend the afternoon.

Join us for an unforgettable Lobster Fishing and Seal Watching Tour aboard Maine’s largest lobster passenger boat. This two-hour cruise explores the scenic waters of Frenchman Bay, offering up-close views of working lobster gear and the chance to spot local wildlife.

Along the way, you’ll enjoy stunning vistas of Acadia National Park, one of Maine’s most iconic coastal landscapes. Keep your eyes peeled for seals, bald eagles, and other seabirds—binoculars or a zoom lens are highly recommended to make the most of the experience.

Or set out to explore Bar Harbor at your own pace. From Acadia National Park and scenic waterfront walks to shopping, dining, and local tours, the afternoon is yours to enjoy. Use the activities section below to plan your perfect Bar Harbor experience.
