MAINE

SEACOAST ON TAP

Why just sit on the porch and have a few beers on a nice summer day when you can go out and sample over 100 of them?

The Seacoast On Tap craft beer festival is returning to the Raitt Farm Homestead in Eliot, Maine on Saturday, June 25. There will be a huge selection of craft beer to try from national and local breweries.

Who is going to be there? How about: Allagash, Clown Shoes, Coney Island, Harpoon, Peak, Sea Dog, Sebago, Shed, Shipyard, Switchback, Wyders and plenty of other quality brewers.

There will also be live music, food and other good stuff from local vendors. Also, anyone who gets a VIP ticket gets an extra hour of beer sampling before the crowd comes in.

Get yourself to the Greek! The festival, that is. The lamb souvlaki, baklava, moussaka, loukoumades and many other Greek culinary delights will be served up for three days of eating, dancing, music and absolute Greek-themed revelry under the giant tent. Opa!

Considered to be one of the funniest farces ever written, "Noises Off" is a play-within-a-play with a crazed array of actors rehearsing and performing a flop of a comedy called "Nothing On." Missed cues, flubbed lines and all sorts of theatrical chaos will make for a hilarious night of theater in Berwick.
