Gear Again Festival and Market

October 18, 11-4

Portland Gear Hub

Maine GearShare’s Annual Gear Sale

Festival attendees will have exclusive access to Maine GearShare’s annual gear sale. Get great deals on tents, sleeping bags, backpacks, camping equipment, and much more while supporting a nonprofit community resource! All gear will be sold as-is; no early birds.

Portland Gear Hub’s Fall Bike Sale

We will be holding their annual fall bike sale: further event details TBD.

Maker’s Market

The Maker's Market at the Gear Again Festival showcases a curated selection of local vendors who are deeply committed to sustainability. Whether you're looking for unique cottage products or simply want to support small businesses with a focus on environmental stewardship, the Maker's Market is a highlight of the festival, celebrating the creativity and responsibility of Maine's finest makers.

Repair Station

Maine GearShare will be offering free gear repair throughout the event. Drop off gear in need of repair, then browse the market or grab lunch while our staff give your gear new life.  ALL ITEMS MUST BE CLEAN.

Common repair types accepted: stuck or misaligned zippers, nylon with rips, puffy coat holes, broken backpack buckles and straps, seam failures, etc. Some stoves, tents, snowshoes and other hard goods can be repaired on a case-by-case basis. Unsure? Bring it and find out.

All Hallows Gran Fondo

You asked, we're delivering. A second gran fondo for 2025 is on the way, spooky style. Mid October, so it's not so so cold, but we still get some of the Halloween vibes and autumn colors.

Route forthcoming

See y'all there 👻
