About this listen
Kick off today with the Maine Hoops Town Team Championships firing up across Waterville, Augusta, and right here in Portland. Exposure Events reports this fifth-year slam dunk fest runs through Sunday, February 22nd, featuring boys and girls teams from 3rd to 9th grade in pool play leading to gold and silver brackets. It's all about community pride—no AAU or club squads unless everyone's local—with a three-game guarantee and most teams hitting four. Championship games hit the Augusta Civic Center on Sunday, and top gold finishers snag golden tickets to the New England Championships. Grab details or cheer on from mainehoops@gmail.com.
If hoops isn't your jam, head to the Portland Museum of Art for February Vacation Week fun. Their calendar highlights family tours like Making + Moving today from 5 to 6 p.m., plus ongoing Oscar-nominated short films screening in various ratings—think 83-minute live-action picks suitable for general audiences. Catch the Portland String Quartet tonight too, playing gems from Bach's Art of the Fugue to Walton's strings in their 57th season.
Saturday amps up with Laugh Shack Comedy at Lincolns in the Old Port, starting at 7 p.m., courtesy of Empire Comedy Maine. Expect gut-busting laughs from local talents—perfect for a night out. The Maine Hoops tourney rolls on, so venues around Portland will hum with young athletes battling it out.
Portland Parks and Rec keeps it active with drop-in adult basketball at East End and Riverton gyms, plus soccer, volleyball, table tennis, and open gym for families and teens—all through vacation week. It's freewheeling fun to shake off the February chill.
Sunday wraps the basketball championships strong, with those epic finals. Squeeze in a mindful pause at the museum's 30-minute guided session amid the galleries if you need zen after the weekend whirl.
Portland's serving up sports, laughs, art, and community vibes—get out there and make memories. Thanks for tuning in, listeners—subscribe for more weekly scoops. This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.
