Public Event Venue in Portland, Maine

Grace opens its doors for public events that bring greater Portland together: fundraisers and galas for local nonprofits, seasonal markets, community nights, ticketed dinners, and cultural gatherings. The venue sits in the Old Port, a restored 1800s church with 14,000 square feet of floor, within walking distance of downtown parking, hotels, and the waterfront, so attendees can find it and get to it easily.

The size of the room is the point for public events. It holds a large crowd for a standing reception or a market, seats a fundraising dinner, and still has room for a stage, vendor tables, or an auction. The in-house liquor license lets our team run the bar for ticketed and licensed events without a separate vendor, which keeps an organizer's checklist shorter.

For organizers, one building covers the venue, the bar, and the floor setup, coordinated with our staff around your run of show. Whether you are putting on a benefit, a public dinner, or a community celebration in the middle of Portland, tell us the date, the expected turnout, and the format, and we will show you how the space and our team support an event that is open to the city.
