If you find yourself hearing about fun community events after they happen and wishing you’d got the memo, save this calendar. It’s got something for everyone: A dinosaur takeover of not one but two Maine civic centers. A 1970s parade.
Dog agility courses. And a Civil War-themed opera. We’ve got classic cars, classic boats .
.. and an amphicar that’s both.
There are whole festivals built around simple pleasures like strawberry shortcake and wild Maine blueberry pie, a lavender farm in bloom, fresh-shucked oysters and beer samples alongside the Fore River. And if you’re looking for tried-and-true summer favorites like open-air concerts, parades, garden parties, fun runs and food trucks, you won’t be disappointed.
