Circus Maine at Square Hop
June 9, 2017 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
4 Parks. 4 Shows. 1 Amazing Night.
Friends of Congress Square Park is proud to partner with Portland Downtown for the first annual Square Hop + Window Walk!
Portland will be hopping Friday night with outdoor music and special performances in four — yes, four! — of our iconic downtown parks. From 6-8pm, you can stroll — or dance, should the mood strike — from square to square to experience some of our best & most unique local entertainment. Whether it’s a high-flying circus act, a larger-than-life ukulele ensemble, or an interactive theater show — there’s fun for the whole family at each stop.
Adding to the fun: the Square Hop kicks off the first night of Portland Downtown’s Summer Window Walk! The windows of our shops & restaurants will be decked out for summer fun: a spectacle for all to enjoy on this fun & festive night in beautiful Downtown Portland.
