Well I may not even get to sleep this weekend! Forecast call for the best weather weekend of the Summer and Festival season certainly is in full swing!
Charleez Hill presents the Annual Live, Love, Laugh Festival in Lebanon Maine. This is a family and community based event, with a friendly environment, merchandise vendors and hosting some of the best touring, local and regional original bands. Limited Camping with donation to show.
Continuum Arts Collective have put together an amazing annual fundraising event, Revel in the Meadow 2023 - Watkins Glen Summer Jam Revival in Dover. The original 1973 Summer Jam was the largest concert gathering ever (over 650k people) celebrating its 50th anniversary with music of the Grateful Dead, the Allman Brothers Band and The Band. For good measure, starting with some Little Feat tunes. This event will feature on-site RV and tent camping (limited), over 50 artisans, a second stage with student and local acts, the first-ever Revel Adult Olympics, kids activities, adult bevs, and delicious food. Tickets and info at https://revelfest.net
From CACs Martin England "Ticket sales are picking up, but we'd love to sell out this event, as net proceeds will help fuel the next generation of artists and musicians in Maine and New Hampshire! Thanks for your help!"
Envision Berwick encourages all to "Bring Your Lawn Chairs to Sullivan Square" a summer festival.Showcasing local bands, performers, artists, and eccentrics in a family-friendly environment. Well-known, local bands anchor the event and discover new, young performers and artists too! This summer's show will be held on Saturday in Sullivan Square, Berwick ME, 4-8 pm The afternoon will be filled with music, delicious local food vendors, face painting, a Maker's Market featuring local makers, and more! Stay tuned to the Envision Berwick Instagram and Facebook pages as more details unfold.
We have also been fortunate to have some native musicians come back to the area when the weather is good!! Hopefully you caught award-winning NH native Amanda McCarthy on her whirlwind tour recently returning to the area from Nashville! And be sure to catch Pat Foley, from Colorado, on his visit back to Maine this week. There is also visiting comedian... Martha T. Soto from Florida! She is going to be entertaining throughout the weekend at the Live, Laugh and Love Festival in Lebanon ME.
