We’re trying something a little different with our events. We still have our events calendar and we invite you to add your listings. In addition, we will share a list of hand picked events that we think are worth your time. Let’s go.

Head to the AGH for an evening inspired by Andy Warhol’s Factory, the studio where he created experimental films among other works, and eventually produced over 70 films.
Have a cocktail, enjoy some themed-foods, dance to tunes selected by Sahra Soudi of COBRA, take part in interactive workshops and activities, and enjoy a special appearance of Warhol work from the permanent collection. Check out The Inlet’s picks for top movies to see during the film festival.
Rich Aucoin + Taylor Knox
7:00 pm – Mills Hardware
Don’t miss your chance to see one of the most entertaining solo performers this country has to offer. That’s not a hyperbole. Rich Aucoin is like a rain shower of glitter under a rainbow while you are surrounded by warmth and friends. There is a parachute.. remember elementary school? If you like upbeat indie pop music and good times you will want to go to this.
