Ice Cream Night at Seashore Trolley Museum
Wednesday, July 8, 2026
5:30p-7p
Seashore Trolley Museum
Join us for one of Seashore Trolley Museum’s most popular events - Ice Cream Night!
Guests are treated to a special evening trolley ride on the heritage railway through Seashore Trolley Museum’s campus AND an ice cream sundae with all the fixin's!
Sundae toppings include: chocolate, strawberry, butterscotch, and caramel sauces, gummy bears, M&Ms, rainbow and chocolate sprinkles, crushed oreos, whipped cream, and strawberries donated by Wyman's! Dairy free ice cream is also available.
Trolleys will depart at 5:30PM, 6PM, and 6:30PM. (Walk-ins should arrive by 6:30PM to participate in the event).
Because Ice Cream Night is a fan-favorite, they encourage everyone to purchase tickets in advance. Eventbrite ticketholders are guaranteed a spot on the trolley during the ride they've selected. Tickets are also available at the door but walk-ins will be seated after Eventbrite ticketholders (that means you may need to wait for the next ride/s to be accommodated).

Maine Outdoor Film Festival with Vinegar Hill
Wednesday, August 19, 2026
Evening - Time TBA
Vinegar Hill
Join us once again at Vinegar Hill for the Maine Outdoor Film Festival Selects Tour! This fundraising event will have outdoor movies, a raffle, and proceeds will benefit Vinegar Hill and Arundel Conservation Trust!
The Maine Outdoor Film Festival curates and presents film experiences related to the beauty, interactivity and complexity of our planet. MOFF asks questions and shares stories about how the power of our planet influences human experience and conversely, human’s impact on the planet. They believe top-notch storytelling and imagery has the potential to broaden perspectives, strengthen relationships, and foster change within ourselves and our communities. And there’s never been a more important time than now to provide these educational and interactive opportunities to connect, explore and learn about the outdoors.
Don’t miss this chance to enjoy powerful films that highlight the wonder of the outdoors — and the importance of protecting it.
Visit Maine Outdoor Film Festival's website for details.
Visit Vinegar Hill's website to purchase tickets.

Grab the family and join us at the Arundel Town Hall Meeting Room for a winter story read by Miss Sandy. After we finish reading we will head out to the ACT Community Trails for a winter activity!
Please arrive at 3p as we will begin the story soon after. Feel free to check on the fairy houses and enjoy hot chocolate after our activity.
Kids, be sure to bring your adults and winter outdoor gear!
Registration is not required but encouraged to ensure we have enough supplies for everyone. Please register through Arundel Parks and Recreation here.
While all ages are welcome this even is best suited for elementary age children.
3rd Annual Community Celebration Has Been Cancelled
The Arundel Conservation Trust Board has made the tough decision to postpone our Annual Community Celebration. Due to tomorrow's forecast of cold weather and rain we felt it would prove a barrier for attendance, which is the opposite of gathering the community together.
This is one of our favorite events of the year and with trail dedications and volunteer appreciations it is one that we hold very close to our hearts. For that reason we will announce plans to hold both soon.
See you on the trails,
Arundel Conservation Trust Board of Directors

Friday, May 29, 2026
5p-7p

We will be provisioning s’mores, food, drinks, games, a fairy house tour and music. We recommend bringing a camp chair as seating is limited. This event is free and everyone is invited!
