As in previous years, Carnaval Maine will feature live music, Bites and Brews and food trucks, but without snowmaking for "rail jams" or the need for shuttle buses and Narrow Gauge Railroad trains to bring visitors to the action.
Musical artists Amy Allen, Mallett Brothers and North Carolina-based band Parmalee are all scheduled to perform at the festival, which will take place March 8-12.
Welcome to the weekly edition of things to do this weekend. Whether you are just visiting Maine for the weekend or you live here, you can always find something to get you out of the house with my weekly things to do around Maine. This weekend there are family-friendly events; opportunities for you to start your holiday shopping with several craft fairs; and a few car shows. There is even a dog wash fundraiser if you are near Palmyra. I've kept the Halloween events separate, so if you are looking for something for the kids or even the adults, check out my Halloween happenings. Everyone, enjoy the weekend!
