Now THAT Was a Thursday Night in Downtown Ellsworth! 🎶
If you were anywhere near the Franklin Street Parklet last night, Thursday, August 27, 2026, you probably heard the music… and judging by the “outisde dance floor”, plenty of you couldn’t resist it!
A huge thank you to I Want My MTV Retro Band featuring Jessi Mallory for bringing the soundtrack of the ’80s and ’90s to downtown Ellsworth. From the crowd favorites to the dancing, singing along and plenty of smiles, it was another fantastic night of live music in The Friendly City.
And we’re not done yet! Next Thursday, September 3, 2026, the Downtown Summer Concert Series welcomes Chris Ross, with Amy Love, to the Franklin Street Parklet.
A special thank you to Maine Community Foundation and Next Generation Dance Alliance for sponsoring the evening and helping make free live music in downtown Ellsworth possible.
