Listen Later

Hey listeners, welcome to your ultimate guide for what's popping in Portland, Maine, today through the weekend—it's Friday, December 26th, and the post-Christmas energy is electric! Kick things off tonight with high-octane hockey action as the Maine Mariners take on the Worcester Railers at Cross Insurance Arena on 1 Civic Center Square. Puck drops at 7:15 pm, so grab your foam finger, cheer for those hometown heroes, and feel the rink-side thrill—perfect for shaking off any holiday turkey coma, according to National Today's event listings.

If live tunes are more your vibe, head to the heart of Portland's Arts District for The Music of Bonnie Raitt—Night 1, running from tonight through Sunday, December 28th. Creative Portland has this tribute locked in at One Longfellow Square, delivering soulful slides, bluesy grooves, and that signature Raitt swagger to keep your spirits soaring all weekend long.

Saturday's heating up with Feels at Flask Lounge—a dance party kicking off at 9 pm where the beats drop hard and the crowd pulses with good times. Then, science nerds and stargazers, don't miss Distant Worlds, Alien Life? at the University of Southern Maine starting at 1 pm. This full-dome planetarium show dives into exoplanets, biology's wild limits, and mind-bending animations of extraterrestrial critters—USM's calendar calls it a cosmic must-see for just $7.50 to $8 a ticket.

Sunday night? Flask Lounge's legendary SunDaze weekly EDM and bass night from 9 pm to 1 am—no cover before it turns into a $5 scene, but it's all about those deep grooves, local DJs, and shaking off the weekend in a come-as-you-are dance haven, straight from their event page. Meanwhile, Definitive Brewing Company's Friday Night Flights roll into tonight from 5 to 8 pm at 35 Industrial Way, with more tastings likely spilling into the weekend—pair craft brews with their trivia or art nights for that chill Portland buzz.

Whether you're lacing up for Mariners mania, grooving to Bonnie vibes, pondering aliens, or bass-dropping till dawn, Portland's got the fun dialed up. Bundle up, hit the streets, and make memories!
