43rd Annual Beach Olympics
August 13 @ 8:00 pm – August 15 @ 9:00 pm
Join us in Old Orchard Beach for three days of community, entertainment, and giving back! The Annual Beach Olympics benefits Special Olympics Maine and helps provide year-round sports, health, leadership, and inclusion opportunities for athletes with intellectual disabilities across the state.
Throughout the weekend, volunteers will collect voluntary toll donations on East and West Grand Avenues. Be sure to enjoy live entertainment, family-friendly activities, and our online silent auction while supporting a more inclusive Maine.
