Ahh, the weekend. Just out of three back-to-back storms and time for some calm. How refreshing. This weekend promises adult fun in all forms: whisky tastings, jumping into ice-cold bodies of water, dancing, and vibing to some sweaty music.
Basement Club Vibes at Sophia
Friday, January 27 —Belfast
 |
Sophia, that underground vibe chill bar we told you about a few weeks ago in Belfast, likes to stay super under the radar. No Facebook or website for them. No, sir. If they do any advertising at all, it’s in an Instagram Story that only lasts 24 hours. So, miss it and you can kiss it. Luckily, Weekend Spotlight pays attention. They are having a special session with DJ Leather Mommy starting at 8 p.m. that promises to provide “sweaty beats.” I don’t know what that means, but I hope there are box fans available.

Camden is pushing this annual event up a little earlier this year. This is a day for little kids and big kids; it all depends on what you’re into. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Camden Public Library, and First National Bank are putting on this day-long event outside. Enjoy ice carving, a doggie fashion show, a Sundog Polar Plunge with a portable sauna, delicious food from local vendors, craft stations, face painting, music, and story walk for kids.
