This weekend has a little mix of everything; outdoor fun, dress up pretend singing, urban comedy, PechaKucha and more. Time to bloom, people.

Eat More (and a little more) Cheese

Friday, April 17 — Eat More Cheese, Belfast

Updated: Their Facebook post is slightly confusing and if you walk in, they can provide samples of cheese and a bit of prosecco upon request, but their main “tasting” of cheeses with wines is actually happening Tuesday, April 21 at 5 p.m.

If your idea of a completely fab afternoon is sampling imported cheeses and sipping on wine as someone hands you a chocolate cupcake — get in line behind me. Belfast’s Eat More Cheese is celebrating their third anniversary by serving their customers some lovely eats and treats. Moonbat City Baking Co. is whipping up some special treats, using cheese from their shop. There will be Gruyère and chive biscuits, as well as chocolate cupcakes with mascarpone and cream cheese frosting. They’ll also be passing out samples of some of their favorite wines, including a nice bubbly. After all, what party would be complete without some fizz? The festivities will begin at noon and continue until 5 p.m.

PechaKucha Night

Friday, April 17 — Lincoln Street Center, Rockland

Ever wanted to know what it’s like to get hip-checked on roller skates? “Mad Madam Mim,” aka Manette Pottle, a derby girl with Rock Coast Rollers, will be one of eight dynamic presenters lighting up the stage at Lincoln Street Center for the April PechaKucha Night. This is always a good time, a mind opener and a fascinating look at how certain artists, craftspeople and general movers and shakers in our community spend their creative time. Also presenting that night will be Kate McAleer, owner of Bixby Bars (who just won 2015 Young Entrepreneur of the Year — way to go lady!); Johannah Blackman, an organic farmer, Teresa Carey, sailor, writer, ocean advocate; Kevin Strong, founder of Dunk the Junk; Karen Talbot, artist; Geoffrey Warner, furniture maker; and Sandy Weisman, artist and owner of 26 Split Rock Cove. The emcee of the night will be Island Institute jokester and storyteller Scott Sell. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Presentations begin at 7 p.m. Tickets are $5 at the door.

Ballad Of Milli Vanilli Lip-Sync Contest 

Saturday, April 18 — Trackside Station, Rockland

You know you do it. You’re sitting in your car and a song from the 1970s comes on and you’re belting out the lyrics at the top of your lungs until you roll to a stop and see that guy from the gym beside you, laughing, because he caught you. Well, the Rock Coast Rollers derby girls have your back for their third annual Ballad of Milli Vanilli Contest (named after the infamous 1980s musical duo who got caught lip-synching their entire album). This is not karaoke (actual singing), but rather lip-syncing (pretend singing) as party goers fake-sing their hearts out to cheesy songs for the crowd’s entertainment — complete with over-the-top costumes. See our article about it last year. Cost: $8; plus $5 per song to complete. Sign up at signupgenius.com. There will be prizes for Most Daring, Best Costume, Best Choreography, Best Solo and Best Group; as well as audience voting with cash for Crowd Favorite. Show starts at 8 p.m. at Trackside Station.

The “Urban Don Rickles” Comes To Rockland

Saturday, April 18 — The Strand Theatre, Rockland

When the real Don Rickles likes your comedy chops, you know you’ve made it. Comedian Earl David Reed takes the stage at the Strand Theatre Saturday night and the audience better be ready. A standup comedian for 15 years, he has performed at more than 100 comedy clubs and colleges, and is a favorite in Las Vegas and Atlantic City. His TV credits include The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, HBO, Showtime, FOX's Comic Strip Live, A&E's Comedy on the Road and NBC's Friday Night Videos.

Killer Road Trip: Acadia Free Day

Saturday/Sunday, April 18/19 — Acadia National Park

Perhaps you haven’t heard the not-so-great news, but on May 1, Acadia National Park will raise their entrance fees to $25 per vehicle even if you only wanted to do a day trip. (There are no single-day fee structures; this fee is valid for seven days). However, for the weekend of April 18 and 19, the park is waiving the fee to commemorate the first weekend of National Park Week. See more info about it in The Wave’s “Road Trip: Five escapades to take this spring.”
