Downtown Showdown 2011 hits Monument Square Portland, Friday February 11

Downtown Showdown! Downtown Showdown! If you saw it last year, you know what I am taking about. Head to Monument Square early this Friday, February 11, for some great entertainment. Once again Sunday River and Sugarloaf ski resorts team up to bring you The Downtown Showdown, an exciting urban rail jam, where snowboarders and skiers will show off their moves to the awe of the downtown Portland spectators.

The Downtown Showdown will run from 5pm to 7pm in Monument Square. There will be a warm up starting likely around 4pm, just before the crowds start pouring out of work and making a stop before heading to happy hour. You’ll likely see scaffolding and snow being brought into downtown Portland to construct the rails and ramps. This year there should not be an issue about finding enough snow. At last years Downtown Showdown the crowds were huge, so be sure to arrive early and grab a spot. Enjoy the show!!

Sugarloaf Reggae Fest 2010

You know summer is right around the corner each year when Reggae Fest hits Sugarloaf Mountain for one the wildest parties in the Northeast. This years 22nd Annual Bud Light Reggae Fest runs from Thursday, April 15 (great timing to let off some steam from those taxes) through Sunday, April 18…and most of us don’t have to work on Monday, thanks to Patriots’ Day.

So you don’t ski? No worries…Reggae Fest is all about having a good time with live music throughout the day and night. Roughly 10,000 people will make their way to Carrabassett Valley, Maine, for a weekend jam packed with great entertainment, people watching, and maybe a few more runs down the mountain mixed in for the true die hard.
