Biddeford · Lifestyle
Living in Biddeford, Maine.
Mill City reborn — restaurants, breweries, and Biddeford Pool.
Biddeford lifestyle is dinner at Elda or Magnus, drinks at Banded, late-night at the Palace Diner, and art-walk Fridays through the mill courtyards. The Engine arts center and a packed festival calendar make this the most culturally alive small downtown in Southern Maine.
Biddeford is the food-and-drink engine of Southern Maine right now. The Pepperell, Lincoln, and Hill mills have been reborn as restaurants like Elda, Palace Diner, Magnus on Water, and Banded Brewing — and the beachside neighborhoods of Biddeford Pool and Fortunes Rocks are some of the most beautiful (and underrated) waterfront in the state.
