Save the date: Sunday, Sept. 18! Midcoast Conservancy is happy to announce the 10th annual Live Edge music festival at Hidden Valley Nature Center. A fun-filled day of live music, great local food and beer, and even belly dancing—all set in the midst of HVNC’s 1,000 acres of trails, pond shore frontage and bogs.

This year’s all-Maine musical line-up includes Primo Cubano, The Gainers, The Hot Suppers and Papa Tim, and the Desperate Man’s Blues Explosion - a testament to the vibrant local music scene! Local food and beer will be available all day, from 11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.

As in past years, for $20, advance ticket buyers will receive a voucher good for up to $20 on a second entrée at 11 fantastic restaurants: Slates, Liberal Cup, River House, Me Lon Togo, Damariscotta River Grill, Newcastle Publick House, Best Thai, A-1 Diner, and Ada's Kitchen. Festival entry is practically free once the voucher is used!

Tickets are available now online at www.midcoastconservancy.org/events-list/live-edge, and will be available for in-person purchase at Mexicali Blues, Sheepscot General Store, and the Alna General Store after July 25.

Live Edge is supported by long-time sponsors Cribstone Capital, Ames Supply and Mexicali Blues; proceeds from Live Edge support Midcoast Conservancy, an innovative conservation organization whose mission is to protect and restore vital lands and waters on a scale that matters.
