Mark your calendar for Sunday, August 20. Midcoast Conservancy is happy to announce the sixth 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 dancers — 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 Gawler Family, the Oshima Brothers and The Boneheads, a testament to our vibrant local music scene.

The festival will also feature local belly dance troupe Sirumem.

Food will be from the Alna General Store and Harvest Moon Wood Fired Catering, while the beer from Liberal Cup, Geary’s and Allagash will keep attendees going between acts or after they explore the 30-plus miles of trails at HVNC until the next band takes the stage.

To sweeten the deal, advance ticket buyers receive a $20 voucher good for a second entrée at 14 participating restaurants; at $20 per ticket, festival entry is practically free once the voucher is used. Tickets are available at Mexicali Blues, Sheepscot General Store, the Alna General Store, and Midcoast Conservancy’s office in Wiscasset, as well as online at https://www.midcoastconservancy.org/events/live-edge-music-festival-82017.

Live Edge is supported by long-time sponsors Cribstone Capital, Ames Supply and Mexicali Blues; proceeds from Live Edge support Midcoast Conservancy, whose mission is to support healthy lands, waters, and communities in Midcoast Maine through conservation, outdoor adventure and learning.
