West Market Festival

By: Melanie Brooks

If you're looking for something fun to do on Saturday, head to downtown Bangor. The West Market Festival, put on by West Market Productions, is taking over downtown all day. The festival, which includes two stages with dozens of musical guests for all ages, fashion shows with stores like The Gap and Bella Luna, and a beer tent with Magic Hat brews outside of the Whig & Courier.

If you've got kids, head over to the Pickering Square stage at 12:15 to see the Flannery Brothers. The duo writes and performs children's songs about such things as broccoli, rutabagas, pillow, and being tucked in to name a few.

Maine's own Rustic Overtones is the headlining band. They take the stage in West Market Square at 6:15 pm. If you've never seen this jazz/rock/funk band there's no time like the present. Take a minute and check out the video below...



With musical performances from 10 am to 8 pm and fashion shows throughout the day, it's amazing that West Market Productions is putting this all on for FREE! For a full list of musicians, retailers in the fashion show, vendors, and supporters visit their website here.
