Weekend Spotlight: What to do, where to go in the new year
It’s “New Year, New You” time this weekend with the Samoset Resort Glacier Ice Bar returning, a Winter Fest in Brunswick, and a couple of brain-tickling events to get you out of your rut. When people ask “What is there to DO in the wintertime around here?” Weekend Spotlight is your answer.
Glacier Ice Bar Returns
Friday, January 14 and Saturday, January 15—Rockport
Killer Road Trip: Winter Fest at Flight Deck Brewing
Saturday, January 15—Brunswick
Dance Like Everyone is Watching
Saturday, January 15—Rockport
The Rockport Opera House, with the assistance of Rockport Masonic Center, is hosting a dance night for the public featuring Creatures of Habit, a rock band from Midcoast Maine.
Social hour is from 6 to 7 p.m. with a cash bar and dancing, which goes from 7 to 10 p.m. Tickets are $15 in advance online or at the door. Masks required. The event supports the Community Warming Center at the Rockport Masonic Center in Rockport.
Killer Road Trip: Eurydice
Saturday, January 15—Orono
And now for something completely different. January is the time to make new goals. Instead of your usual Saturday thing, (which admit it, is a ripped-open bag of Doritos on the couch binge-watching Ted Lasso) get yourself in a fancy mood and head on up to Orono to the Collins Center for the Arts to watch “Eurydice,” the Metropolitan Opera Live HD production of the Greek myth of Orpheus, who attempts to harness the power of music to rescue his beloved Eurydice from the nefarious underworld.
Who says love is dead? Well, if you’re in the underworld, that might be a moot point. Read the whole story. The show starts at 1 p.m. Adult $25 | Senior (ages 65+) $20 | Student $10. FMI: Details
