Exploration. Community. \nWe hope to see you there! \n  \nActivities in Congress Square Park\nSaturday\, September 21st | free | all ages \nFAMILY ARTMAKING\n3:00 – 5:30 PM Family arts activities with Love Lab Studio\nBird enthusiasts of all ages are invited to celebrate Metamorphosis by building\, designing\, and decorating Maine’s migratory birds.\n \n  \nMUSIC\n4:00 Skulken \n4:50 Angelikah Fahray\n5:45 Hannah Epperson\n6:40 Cavatica\n7:20 Dead Gowns\n8:20 Ian O’Neil (of Deer Tick) \n  \nFor more information on all programming for this year\, visit Waking Windows Portland’s website.
