The 3rd Annual Hallowell Backyard Games brings Scottish Heavy Athletics to central Maine. All vending is coordinated exclusively through Hallowell Heavies, and any vendor promotions from other sources are scams.

Participants compete in a Yu-Gi-Oh! Advanced format tournament with a $6 entry fee. Registration includes an OTS pack. The prize pool scales with attendance, adding two packs per entrant, and prizes are awarded based on final standings. The number of Swiss rounds is set by turnout, followed by a top cut whose size also depends on participation. Players can consult the current Forbidden and Limited Lists to ensure deck legality.

This event features friendly Commander play with a focus on lower power decks and relaxed games. Participants are placed into pods of three to five, and winning a pod earns a random promo.

Settle in for a film while spending time with friendly cats. Admission is $15 and includes popcorn and a drink from the cooler. RSVP is requested.

In Waterville, ME, Floydian Trip celebrates the music of Pink Floyd with meticulous musicianship, immersive sound, and clear reverence for a landmark rock catalog. Formed in 2022, this seven-piece group has built a reputation for performances that convey both the power and emotional range of the band’s legendary live shows. The concert traces Pink Floyd’s evolution, starting with the raw psychedelic beginnings, moving through the landmark albums of the 1970s, and arriving at the expansive, reflective later period. The program unfolds as a cohesive journey from opening note to closing chord. Drawing on both official recordings and rare bootlegs, the ensemble recreates the sound, atmosphere, and intensity of classic tours with notable accuracy. Recognition includes a Best Band honor in a Best of Hartford readers poll. The set blends signature favorites with deeper cuts to engage longtime listeners and those discovering the music for the first time. Tickets are $35 to $45 and are nonrefundable. Member and public on-sale options are available. This event is eligible for the Youth Arts Access Fund.

Experience a high energy performance from a live band delivering a wide ranging mix that stretches across eras and genres. The set moves from classic rock and pop to 80s and 90s alternative, country, and more.
