Congress Square Park

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to our New Mainers on Stage: New Moon Ensemble performance! It was a wonderful evening filled with dance, art, and drumming. We couldn’t have done it without the support of New Moon, @congresssquare, Bondeko, and the Onion Foundation.

On Sunday April 30th at noon, join us as we celebrate the start of our 2023 In the Square season of programming! Ideal Maine Marching Band will bring the musical vibes, and we'll also have treats available for purchase from Mellifluous Portland and Plot Twist Pretzels! Join us!

Happy Valentine's Day, Portland! We love you, and we love what we get to do with you.

Just a lil winter beauty shot.

Our 2022 Impact Report is live on our website! Here's a sneak peek, with lovely quotes from community members and partners.  As we share the impact we've had last year, we're ramping up our search for 2023 sponsors. Get in touch if you'd like to support our work!
