Fox + Fern will be there playing a mix of folk/soul/blues originals, and their favorite tunes from the 50s, 60s, and beyond, and Brookford Farm will have delicious farm to plate food available for picnic style dinner with your friends and family.
Come enjoy the summer with live music, yummy local organic food, and time with loved ones and community. Member tickets are $7 and nonmember tickets are $10.

Fox + Fern
Southern Maine natives Laura Fox and Eric Fernald have a dynamic history together. The two are intimate, engaging performers, embracing the audience with tender melodies and contagious rhythms. Both singer-songwriters—they explore love, the lack thereof, and the in-between, both in the songs they write and the songs they choose to cover. Their shows include a mix of folk/soul/blues originals, and their favorite tunes from the 50s, 60s, and beyond. You might know Laura from her other duo Fox + Roy or her 5-piece folk/soul band, Foxglove. And Eric, leader of the Seacoast-based Chicago-style blues band, Southside Blues.
After three successful tours of our outdoor circus Stars Above, Hideaway Circus is mounting a sequel to the beloved production, titled Canvas Sky. The show features a cast of ten world-class circus artists who explore the themes of self acceptance and uplifting one another. We follow the story of a circus troupe where the clown struggles to ‘fit in’ and find his voice, until he gets a little help from a friend who has already figured out how to embrace what makes her wonderful and unique.
