All trails will again lead to Millinocket, Maine and the 2011 Trails End Festival held on September 16th, 17th and 18th. People in the Katahdin Region and from all over will celebrate with food, activities and fun for the whole family. Join us for 3-days of free music in downtown Millinocket.
The 2011 Trails End Festival will again feature a free David Mallett concert in Veteran's Memorial Park in downtown Millinocket. Mallett will play on Sunday afternoon at the bandstand at Veteran's Memorial Park. This concert is free as is all of the music that is made possible by our sponsors.
Dave Mello, who performed on Friday night last year, will be performing on Saturday afternoon this year. Dave's performance of classic blues was appreciated by all those who saw him. Dave is an accomplished musician of 40 years who plays 3 to 4 nights a week in Maine.
Returning again this year is the Maine State Dixieland Band. This group was the surprise of the festival last year. Opening the festival in the back of a covered trolley they continued to make trips around the downtown area playing to the gathering crowds. The band is made up of individuals from around the state who love Dixieland music.
Emily Guillow will return with more of your favorite classics and several new songs. Emily is a student at Hampden Academy and has been playing publicly for several years. Currently she has a recurring gig at the Seadog Brewing Company in Bangor, Maine. You can see her there on Wednesday nights.
If things go as planned, this year we will be celebrating the opening of the multi-use trail system between Millinocket and Sebois at next falls festival.
Stay tuned because, "It's gonna be BIGGER" this year.
