Headline: Portland, Maine Abuzz with Summer Events: Music, Cruises, and More
Right now in Portland, Maine, the city comes alive with summer energy and there are plenty of exciting events for listeners to experience from today through the weekend. First, Thompson’s Point is the place to be for Summer Sunsets Live every Thursday and Friday evening. Join a diverse crowd by the waterfront from 4 to 8:30pm for free, outdoor music, delicious food trucks, drinks, and that classic Portland sunset. Tonight, enjoy live entertainment by the Sunburned Sharks, and on Friday, Frenzie will take the stage. Families, pets, and friend groups are all welcome according to the Thompson’s Point calendar, and every week brings new surprise pop-ups and performers.
Music lovers can also look forward to The Decemberists live at the State Theatre on Sunday, July 20. Known for their indie-folk sound and captivating performances, this Portland band is one you won’t want to miss, and tickets are still available through Portland Maine Theater.
If you’re craving a truly Maine experience, hop aboard the Lobster Roll Cruise on Casco Bay. Departing daily behind The Porthole at 20 Custom House Wharf, this lunchtime cruise offers panoramic views of Portland harbor and lighthouses, with a hearty lobster roll and a drink from the onboard bar. Fogg’s Water Taxi brings local flavor to the sea, making this the ultimate floating lunch option.
Art fans can enjoy ongoing exhibitions and events around Greater Portland, including artist-led walking tours, an immersive 360 Dome Theater simulation of the universe, and pop-up craft markets. Plus, the Fifth Maine Museum is presenting Cocktails Through The Ages with Chris Toy on Peaks Island, blending history and refreshments in a historic setting as shared by the Visit Portland event calendar.
Trivia enthusiasts can get their game face on at several local venues, including trivia nights at restaurants downtown and on the waterfront—details on exact locations can be found at Portland Downtown. If you’d rather learn a tasty skill, sign up to shuck oysters with a local oyster farmer or join guided tastings and tours of Portland’s renowned food scene, which includes classic Maine food, ethnic specialties, and downtown bakeries.
Families will find fun too. There’s a community celebration this week at Payson Park, featuring two days of live music, local food, and family activities in scenic Back Cove. And don’t forget, the Maine Irish Heritage Center is open Thursdays from 10am to 2pm for those interested in local stories and genealogy.
