Kingfield POPS featuring the Bangor Symphony and headlining “the” Beatles tribute band Spencer and the Walrus is just around the corner, and the day will be one to remember! With events in Kingfield all day long, the POPS is bringing the arts to life for Rural Maine.

On Saturday, June 24, the gates open at 4:30 p.m. for Western Maine’s premier outdoor summer concert in its 20th year. Where else can you hear a full symphony orchestra play at the base of Maine’s high peaks? Tucked away on the Kennedy Field, located off Route 142 in Kingfield, the POPS concert showcases Spencer and the Walrus, Catcha Vibe, The Napper Tandies, Coleman Martin, Burnurwurbskek Singers, and the Bangor Symphony Orchestra. Dancing in front of the stage is encouraged!

A variety of vendors will have food and snacks available for purchase at the concert, including The Wheelhouse by Alice and Lulu’s; Hungry Mama; Freedom’s Forage; New Portland Firemen Association; and White Fox Taverna. A wide menu provided by these vendors ranges from raclette cheese and greek food to tacos, sandwiches, and traditional fair food like hamburgers, hot dogs, fries, and onion rings. Looking for something for the kids? Freedom’s Forage will have kids meals, and the Kingfield Festival Days will be on hand with the snow cone maker for a refreshing treat.

The evening will conclude with a fireworks display as the concert ends.

Tickets for the POPS can be purchased online at KingfieldPOPS.com or BangorSymphony.org; at Mainely Provisions, Skowhegan Savings, or Western Maine Dance Center in Kingfield, and at Orange Cat Cafe in Farmington; or at the gate at the show. Youth ages 17 and under are admitted free with an accompanying adult.
