Midcoast Conservancy is happy to announce the fifth annual Live Edge music festival at Hidden Valley Nature Center. A fun-filled day (noon – 6pm) of live music, great local food and beer, and even belly dancers—all set in the midst of HVNC’s 1,000 acres of trails, pond shore frontage and bogs. This year’s all-Maine musical line-up includes Primo Cubano, the Gawler Family, the Oshima Brothers, and the Shakes, a testament to our vibrant local music scene! The festival will also feature the US premier of the belly dance troupe Sirumem. Food from the Sheepscot General Store, authentic Mexican tacos from the Solorzano family, and beer from Liberal Cup, Geary’s and Allagash will keep you going between acts or after you explore the 30-plus miles of trails at HVNC until the next band takes the stage.
To sweeten the deal, advance ticket buyers receive a $20 voucher good for a second entrée at 15 participating restaurants; at $20 per ticket, that makes your festival entry, well, practically free! Restaurants that will honor the vouchers include: Slates, Liberal Cup, A-1 Diner, Newcastle Publick House, El Camino, Frontier, Cloud 9, River Grill, Crissy’s, Savory Maine, Le Garage, Montsweag Roadhouse, The Slipway, Rhumb Line and Rock Harbor Pub & Brewery.

How can we make life better for Maine’s aging population? Speaker of the Maine House of Representatives Mark Eves’ Lincoln County Senior Listening Tour visit will be an opportunity for community members, local seniors and their family members, caregivers, industry leaders and lawmakers to gather and discuss ways to help Maine seniors’ age in the right place within their community.
This statewide tour is a continuation of Speaker Eves’ “Keep ME Home” bipartisan legislative package aimed at helping more seniors live independently in their communities.
