Waterfall Arts Summer Art Market

The Belfast Art Market brings a rotating cast of talented Maine artists every Friday from June through September 9 AM – 1 PM, in conjunction with the original Belfast Farmer’s Market. Come by and check out the eclectic array of high-quality ceramics, clothing, jewelry, paintings, and more!

The Belfast Art Market at Waterfall Arts is a fantastic place for locals and tourists alike. Whether you’re visiting the area and looking for a special handmade Maine souvenir, or you’re a local looking for the perfect gift, the Belfast Art Market has something for you.

Join us for (one hour) Trivia in the brewhouse with our friend Megh. The questions will commence every Friday starting promptly at 6 pm. We recommend arriving early to get settled as missed questions are not repeated. Tickets are free but reservations are strongly recommended as we've been packed recently! Walk-ins are not guaranteed a seat, but we'll absolutely do our best to squeeze you in, if we can. If you are making a reservation for your team, please account for all the members of your team. Groups can be up to six players. Bite Into Maine will be here for all of your tasty dinner or snacking needs. As always we’ll have delicious beer, wine, cider, and n/a bevs flowing. We can’t wait to see you and your fantastic team names!

FYI, as our brewhouse is a food production space, sadly dogs must stay on our covered patio.

The prizes are:
First - $75 gift card
Second - Fun merch pack
Third - Rotating "prize pack"

Join us for a beautiful scenic sunset paddle along the idyllic Dead and Pushaw Streams. This is a great time to see some crepuscular wildlife. We may see beaver, muskrat, eagles, herons, deer, and even moose on our journey. No matter what wildlife we see or miss, we are sure to see a spectacular sky as the sun sets.

This paddle will be held flotilla-style with canoes and kayaks. You may use one of our boats, or bring your own. Hirundo provides life jackets and all equipment as needed.

Tickets:

$18/adult (age 16 and up)

$8 for a child age 8-15.

Children under 8 are not permitted, for safety reasons.

Please reserve your spot by purchasing a ticket. Tickets are limited . Questions? Email brianna@hirundomaine.org

Hike to one of Acadia’s iconic summits AND help Acadia National Park’s efforts to restore native vegetation!

Acadia National Park, in collaboration with Friends of Acadia and Schoodic Institute, invites tenacious hikers to bring bags of soil to the summits of Penobscot and Sargent Mountains. You’ll get to choose how much soil you’ll carry – carrying as little as five pounds (about the size of a large freezer ziplock bag) is a huge help! This soil is integral to the ongoing summit restoration efforts in Acadia National Park.

3 days of shopping or swapping with local and distant collectors of vintage toys and comics . On the lawn of a well known area vintage and antique group shop. Last year was fun. Three times the fun this year! No fee to get in.

Members of a Knox County creative action group are inviting the public to participate in a nonviolent “By Land or By Sea” vigil on the shore and water of Port Clyde on Saturday, August 30 (rain date: August 31). Leaders of The Audacity say their goal is to call the community’s attention to the troubling record of Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. Participants will gather at the Port Clyde public landing at 9:30 AM. Those bringing rowboats, kayaks, and paddleboards will be in place in the water at 10 AM. Others will hold signs on shore, dispersing peacefully after a half hour and heading to Rockland for the group’s weekly Chapman Park singing demonstration at noon.

Parking is available in public spaces in Port Clyde and at Drift Inn Beach; organizers will operate a shuttle. A safety guide will be on hand, but participants should bring flotation devices and dress for the weather.

Come walk, run, or mosey a 5K at the beautiful Quarry Road trails in Waterville to support the Kennebec Valley Youth Orchestras, a 501c3, that provides top quality musical opportunities for intermediate and advanced youth musicians in central Maine and beyond. Entrance cost is $20. Register at:

Join instructor Heather Guglielmo for a morning of yoga among the flowers at Broadturn Farm.
Heather is from NY & NH and fell in love with Maine and stayed. She started her yoga practice about nine years ago, and holds her RYT 200 Yoga Teacher Training with the Fluid Yoga School through Samudra in Biddeford, ME. Her infectious laughter, kind heart, love for Thriller Flash Mob, 80’s music, her two dogs and Ireland will keep you coming back for more. She loves to teach outside and looks forward to teaching with SLT again this Summer!

Attendees should bring their own yoga mat or towel, water, weather-appropriate clothing, and insect repellent. We will plan to be outside unless weather moves us into the barn.

All ages and levels of experience are welcome.
