Sunday, June 7th, marks the 36th Annual Old Port Festival in Portland, Maine, and what a way to celebrate and welcome Summer to Portland than music, art, entertainment, and more. Something for all ages and a wonderful time rain or shine. The City of Portland in conjunction with many area businesses, have coordinated a number of sites and stages for different local and national musical acts to entertain the crowd, while they check out crafts from local artists and shop the wonderful stores of The Old Port. The streets will surely be filled from Congress St. to Commercial Street, between Temple/Union St. and Pearl St. for another awesome festival. There will be plenty of food and outdoor activities for all to enjoy!

Thriving Ivory, Elliot Yamin (finalist on previous American Idol), Dar Williams, Pete Kilpatrick, and Kelly Parker are just some of the many entertainers to perform across a number of different stages. There are performances and events for kids too.
