SERVICE PROJECT
As part of On The Ocean, we’re teaming up with REVERB, Portland Trails, Preble Street, Surfrider and Bissell Brothers to give back to Portland. In past years we've worked with Portland Trails to clean up the paths leading to Thompson's Point. We'll continue that work this year along with two new service projects. We'll be working on food prep and preservation for future needs at Preble Street along with a beach clean up with Surfrider. Join us in giving back and making a lasting impact on Portland’s community!
SUNDAY AUGUST 10TH - 9AM
CORNHOLE
We’ve partnered with our friends at Port City Cornhole to bring a fun and casual Cornhole Zone to Thompson's Point! While it’s not a tournament, their team will be onsite to keep games organized and the good times rolling.
Founded in early 2024, Port City Cornhole was created to bring people together through fun and friendly cornhole leagues and tournaments at local breweries and venues around Portland. Their goal is a welcoming community where everyone can enjoy casual competition, socialize, and support local Maine businesses.
KIDS ZONE AT THE MUSEUM!
We’re excited to partner with the Children’s Museum & Theatre of Maine to offer On The Ocean ticket holders free afternoon entry each festival day, complete with arts & crafts, an outdoor play area, and an ice cream truck. With the museum located right next to Thompson’s Point, it’s the perfect spot for families to have fun before heading back to the music!
