Presented by Portland Bach Experience and Maine magazine, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a carnival-style concert and community celebration featuring over 20 local arts organizations and eateries. The afternoon opens with an orchestra fanfare, followed by a parade with giant puppets, a Fairy Queen drag show, and a community dance party. Wood nymphs and fairies of all ages are invited to imbibe, dance, and celebrate the power of community through great music.
Free to attend - masks requested, costumes encouraged!
