Here’s something hot to counteract the cold snap: a spicy, Caliente Dance Party and a number of warm musical gatherings in local pubs, cafés and venues. And for something chill: two road trips, one to Boothbay for a brilliant outdoor light display, and one to Waterville for a contemporary play that will leave an impression.

Killer Road Trip: Gardens Aglow Thursday, November 14 to Sunday, November 17— Boothbay
Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens transforms into a winter wonderland this weekend. With more than half a million lights, witness the transformation of our central gardens into an extravaganza of festive lights in a dramatic display of brilliant color. This year, they are taking the dramatic display to new heights, incorporating—for the first time—a magnificent sculpture exhibit, by artist Steve Tobin. Note: due to the crowds and sold-out nature of this event, they have some specific rules you need to check out before you go. FMI: Gardens Aglow |
