Maine native Kent Axell will bring his magical, mystical, and marvelous show to the Lincoln Theater in downtown Damariscotta at 7 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 8.

The fall weather is finally here, and with it a great crop of new and exciting movies. The theater’s October calendar is complete and now available. Along with numerous special events — Pumpkinfest celebrations, the launch of the new Met season, a new performance from our kids at Y-Arts, and more from the National Theatre Live — our films this month include “Equity” (R), “Little Men” (PG), “The Beatles: Eight Days a Week – The Touring Years” (NR), “Sully” (PG-13), and “Hell or High Water” (R). As the nights get colder, come to Lincoln Theater and warm up with some great entertainment.

Tom Hanks stars in “Sully,” held over and playing through Thursday, Oct. 6 at The Harbor Theatre.

The Wells Hussey American Legion Post Auxiliary, on upper Main Street in Damariscotta, will be hosting a public breakfast on Sat., Oct. 8 in conjunction with Damariscotta Pumpkinfest. The breakfast will start at 7 a.m. and will run until 11 a.m.

Each year, the Damariscotta Pumpkinfest & Regatta continues to grow into what has become the not-to-be-missed autumn event in New England. What started as a pumpkinboat race among friends has evolved into a 10-day event that celebrates the pumpkin in all its forms.

“Florence Foster Jenkins” is playing Thursday, Sept. 22, followed by Tom Hanks in “Sully” this week at The Harbor Theatre.

Last week, more than 130 Lincoln Academy sophomores joined us at Lincoln Theater for a broadcast of “Romeo and Juliet.” Next week, 30 Bowdoin College students of theater are coming for a special screening of “A View from the Bridge.” This week, one can join in to see the National Theatre of London as it performs the classic play-with-music “The Threepenny Opera.” Then stay for the weekend for Meryl Streep and her hilarious turn as the endearing Florence Foster Jenkins in “Florence Foster Jenkins.”

This week, along with the wonderful film “Indignation,” we have three theatrical broadcasts. For Downton Abbey fans, Lady Rose (Lily James) takes on the role of Juliet in a Shakespeare classic. American theater fans will revel in the modern take of an Arthur Miller classic. And for fans of musicals, Mack the Knife returns. Such fun.

Due to great audience response, “Florence Foster Jenkins” will hold over for a second week and play through Thursday, Sept. 22 at The Harbor Theatre.

This week, Meryl Streep stars as an aspiring-but-painfully-untalented opera singer in “Florence Foster Jenkins.”

As we move toward the fall months, our movie schedule broadens to include other live, or captured-live, performances from around the world. September marks the return of theater performances from London’s West End – including two Shakespeare classics, an American theater classic, and a classic musical, all of which can be seen at Lincoln Theater. And don’t miss “Captain Fantastic,” a family saga that is being talked about as one of the best films of the year.

Nobleboro Historical Society’s annual AppleFest will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 1 at the Nobleboro Central School, 194 Center St., and the historical center at 198 Center St., Nobleboro.

As it has for many years, the Second Congregational Church, UCC at 51 Main St. in Newcastle will hold its end-of-season service at Pemaquid Lighthouse Park in Bristol. The service will take place at 10:30 a.m., Sunday, Sept. 11. Weather permitting, the service will be held outside beside the lighthouse, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Attendees should bring a lawn chair or one to share. This is a wonderful opportunity to invite a friend to come along. In the event of rain, the service will be held in the park’s adjacent community center/museum.
