The Maine Home & Lifestyle Expo will be held May 16th through the 18th in downtown Camden at the Knox Mill facility on the corner of Mechanic Street and Washington Street. The Expo will feature exhibits, demonstrations, displays and seminars. This expo takes the place of the home and garden show of the past.

This year three groups have joined forces to promote the region and spur economic development, in the Midcoast. The Maine Contractors & Builders Alliance (formerly Mid-Coast Builders Alliance), The Camden Rockport Lincolnville Chamber of Commerce and the Union Area Chamber of Commerce share a mission to support their members and communities. By collaborating more attractive events, such as this Expo, will draw and engage the interest of visitors from around the state and the greater New England region.

A special feature planned for the Expo will be a Designer Showcase Condo in the Knox Mill complex. Interior designers, flooring and appliance dealers, and other businesses will work together to create a beautiful and innovative space that will be open to the public for tours. A Gala Reception will be held Friday night, May 16th to preview the Designer Showcase Condo.
