The weather’s playing peek-a-boo with us this weekend, but it’s going to pan out and stay on the sunny side. The Blues Fest will be taking over Rockland this weekend and there’s plenty of free or low cover music for locals as well.

The Blues Fest Local Acts & Club Crawl

Friday, July 10-Saturday, July 11— Downtown, Rockland

Maybe you have tickets to The North Atlantic Blues Festival; maybe you don’t. Doesn’t matter. Come Friday night, the town will galvanize with a lineup of blues acts all over Rockland. This is not a NABF event, so no wristbands are needed! However, some venues might charge a slight cover.  Then, on Saturday night, Main Street will shut down. People 21 and over wearing their wristband from the festival will be allowed admission to the many participating clubs and restaurants featuring many of the top regional blues performers for the official Club Crawl. For a list of who’s playing both nights visit: Blues Fest Acts

Winery’s Free Summer Concert

Friday, July 10 — Union

Canadian folk rockers Jubilee Riots (formerly known as Enter The Haggis) will be kicking off Savage Oakes Vineyard and Winery’s free summer concert series at 6 p.m. with a performance. Café Miranda will be bringing their wood fired brick oven and serving up their signature gourmet pizza beginning at 5 p.m. Savage Oakes wine and local beer will also be available. The show is open to the public and for all ages. Seating is limited, so bring a lawn chair or blanket. FMI: Summer Concert.

Chill Zone At Zoot

 Saturday, July 11— Camden

 This one is short but sweet. If you’re cruising through Camden, DJ Quantam will play an ambient electronic DJ set at Zoot Coffee, 3-5 p.m., 31 Elm St., Camden.

St. George Tubing Flotilla

Sunday, July 12 — Warren

Last year was a blast. Bring your biggest floaty and hang with a group of like minded river rats. The instructions are to drive two cars; one to Warren village and one near The Slipway in Thomaston. Car pool if possible as there will be too many vehicles parked.) Plan to be there by 8:45, which is high tide with slack water for about 15 minutes and then tide will start going out. There will be two boats to move everyone along the dead water, which is about two miles, so it doesn't take as long as it did last year. Expect to float 3.5 hours. The flotilla will be ending as usual at The Slipway Restaurant, which some drink specials and some great food! Bring cash as they will be overloaded with credit card transactions. Other things to bring: life jackets (Everyone is required to have one. Adults don't have to wear them, but children do); sunscreen, food, water and, uh, other beverages. Note: Marine Patrol will be out, so all alcoholic beverages must be kept under wraps or in an unmarked cup. Basically, unless you’re doing something stupid, they will look the other way. See our story about it in The Wave. For more instructions, visit: St. George Tubing Flotilla on Facebook

Killer Road Trip: Moxie Fest

Friday, July 10-Sunday, July 12— Lisbon

Maybe you just love that dirt-and-battery acid flavor of Maine’s most iconic soda, or maybe you just like the goofy idea of a festival built around it, but Lisbon’s annual Moxie Fest is kicking up this weekend with parades, dance parties, Moxie tastings and Moxie ice cream and even a chug-n-challenge (ugh.) Fanatics of the drink will be in Moxie heaven. To see the entire weekend’s schedule, click here: Schedule.
