NEATO Winterfest 2024

About the Event

Seashore Trolley Museum welcomes active volunteers and staff from fellow trolley and transit museums and organizations for NEATO’s Annual Winterfest! Join us from Friday, March 15 -Sunday, March 17 at our locations in Kennebunkport, Maine and Lowell, Massachusetts for learning, fellowship, and trolley fun. To register, visit https://NEATOwinterfest.eventbrite.com

We have a great slate of activities planned for all three days. Winter in Maine can be unpredictable; while we hope that we’ll experience 70 degree weather like we had at last year’s event in Baltimore, we coastal Mainers know that’s not going to be in the cards for us. So, in addition to the traditional opportunities to guest operate trolleys on our main line, we have a full schedule of workshops, presentations, demonstrations, a Night Photo Shoot (Saturday), behind-the-scenes tours, and so much more planned in addition to railway operations. Guests will also get to enjoy work equipment, speeders, and our pump car!
