Maker’s Market brings together a carefully curated mix of Maine artists, makers, designers, food producers, and small businesses inside Brick South. The lineup shifts throughout the year, so each market feels a little different depending on who’s there and what they’re bringing with them.
It’s a place to shop thoughtfully, meet the people behind the products, and spend a little time with the local businesses that make Maine’s creative community what it is. Come for the market, stay for a coffee or drink, something to eat, and a few unhurried hours at Thompson’s Point.
On select dates, the market expands into Halo with specialty food vendors, adding even more to explore!
Maker’s Markets are happening on select dates all year long. Check our event schedule for dates!

Winter at Thompson’s Point means getting out on the ice. The Rink is an outdoor skating destination with public skate, themed nights, community events, and seasonal programming throughout the winter.
Bring your own skates or rent a pair when you arrive, then make an afternoon or evening of it. Warm up with food and drinks at Après Lounge, meet friends for a few laps, or settle in and stay awhile between sessions. With music, lights, and plenty happening around the rink throughout the season, it’s become one of the best ways to spend winter at Thompson’s Point.
The Rink season runs from November to March. Weather permitting.
