Waterville Rocks! is a series of four outdoor concerts presented by the Waterville Opera House for the enjoyment of the greater Waterville community. At these concerts, families and friends gather in historic downtown Waterville, lay down a blanket in Castonguay Square, listen to awesome local music, and dance and socialize with others in the community. Established in 2016 by local business leaders and arts-focused organizations, Waterville Rocks! is becoming an annual community celebration of all-things-music held in the great outdoors.
This year Waterville Rocks! is expanding its offerings with a new beer garden, giving adults of age extra incentive to come out and listen to excellent music! There is no charge associated with this event; it is all about community, free entertainment and good times in a delightful downtown green space.
During this final concert, you can play along on some unique instruments. Using locally harvested vegetables, your family will discover how to make musical instruments to play and bring home. There will be everything from carrot recorders, pumpkin percussion instruments, and leek violins! Come boogie and play with the very unofficial Waterville Community Vegetable Orchestra, made up of people like you. Free Stone Soup will be served during the event — it will be created from the cut-off parts of our vegetable instruments. This community art event is fun for all ages; no musical talents are required. Let’s make some delightful noise!
Location: Castonguay Square, Common St., Waterville.
