Is the music in you? It can be this weekend

There are two great things about much of the music to be heard in Greater Portland:

1. The lengthy list of local performers with immense talent.

2. The fact that so many of them share their tunes for free.

Summer won't last forever

Already we've passed the halfway point of August, which means the falling leaves and morning chills are soon to follow. But don't give up on summer just yet. You still have a handful of pre-Labor Day evenings to enjoy so get out there and get it done.

We'll always have our art

If you're the type who enjoys walking along with the crowds, peering into one gallery and then the next, you've likely been getting a lot of exercise lately. Last week was Art Walk in Portland, which means this week there's art to be seen in Brunswick and Topsham.

It's music for your ears

This week we're going to get in the groove. Monday through Thursday, there's plenty of music to be had in Greater Portland, no matter what kind of tunes you're into.

Art Walk & kickball: What a weekend

By now you know the drill when Art Walk week rolls around. For First Friday, you can trot around to a whole slew of galleries, museums and shops, from the Arts District to the Old Port to Munjoy Hill. Get all the info you need from PACA, then get walkin'.

This week it's all about the liquid refreshment

August is here people. If you haven't gotten yourself out to enjoy the social summer events in Portland yet, what are you waiting for? Snow?
