The Augusta Elks Summer Music Festival Returns This Weekend

If you have lived in Central Maine for more than a few years, you probably know that the Augusta Elks Lodge does a semi-annual summer music festival.

During this event, which takes place over a Friday evening and all day on Saturday, a series of amazing local bands perform under a tent behind the lodge.

During each of these festivals, which take place on odd numbered years, the lodge raises money for a worthwhile cause.  In 2025, the beneficiary of the money raised from the event will be the lodge itself.  In order to continue the Elks' mission of elevating our community, the lodge building needs a new roof.

This year's concert series will feature music from a variety of great New England bands.

On Friday night you can check out local favorite Garrett Holt.  Garrett will be followed by Being Petty, an amazing Tom Petty tribute act.

On Saturday, you can catch local favorites Working Class, Live Bullet (a Bob Seger tribute), and the Elton John tribute Yellow Brick Road.

On Friday, the gates open at 5 PM.  The opening ceremony is scheduled for 5:30 PM and Garrett starts playing at 6 PM.

On Saturday, the gates open at 11:30 AM and the first band takes the stage at Noon.

Admission each day will be $15 per person.
