Kick off Peaks Fest weekend with a party on the Fifth Maine porch!
Schmooze Fest features a donation bar and hors d’oeuvres, enjoyed with friends old and new.
Then we head down to the Fifth Maine’s dining room for a good old-fashioned Bingo night. A fun evening, and you just may go home with one of the great prizes!
See you there!
The Fifth Maine Museum is pleased to host a free workshop offered by the Illustration Institute.
Renowned illustrator and comic artist, Elizabeth Haidle, will conduct a hands-on workshop where participants will develop comics through a variety of exercises.
All ages are welcome. Space is limited to 35 participants. To reserve a spot please email nancy@illustrationinstitute.org.
Undertow Brass Band (FKA What Cheer? Brigade) is a brass band from Providence, RI, USA. They prove that great parties need no electricity.
“Thrillingly competent, with undimmable energy…an explosion of good cheer.”
– The New York Times
Since 2005, the band has been as likely to appear at community benefits as at all-night parties, playing bars, clubs, streets, libraries, cemeteries, weddings, bus stops, and playgrounds.
They’ve played with Blondie, Dan Deacon, Man Man, Japanther, Dengue Fever, Okkervil River, Lightning Bolt, Ninjasonik, Mika Miko, Wolf Parade, Matt and Kim, Slavic Soul Party, Javelin, Sage Francis, and Chain and the Gang.
They’ve appeared at Lollapalooza, The Newport Folk Festival, Aarhus Festuge (Denmark), Sziget (Hungary), and Guca (Serbia), offering mobile moments of intense revelry.
They’ve actually played at the Fifth Maine Museum once before and no one who was there has ever forgotten it!
We’ll have a grill going so you can replenish your energy and quench your thirst! You’ll need it!
Get ready for some fun!!
