Back by popular demand, come witness the stylistic extravagance of Maine's best-dressed pups! A public puppy parade will follow the show itself, so bring your doggo and come prepared!
It's Bike to Work Day! We'll be celebrating with free coffee and breakfast treats, as well as tons of information and resources about enjoying bicycling around Portland.
Meet a whole bunch of organizations and resources that can help you get out into nature, and make some friends in the process! Enjoy demonstrations such as fly-fishing and tree meditations. Free and open to all!
It's swing dancing night! Featuring local legends The Ragtime Destroyers! Enjoy some New Orleans jazz while you dance your heart out (or sit back and spectate, of course!).
