Portland's busy docks have long attracted people of cultures from throughout the world. This global influence is perhaps best reflected in the city's incredible diversity of musical styles and presentations. From spring to early fall, Portland's world music offerings are on display during free noontime, after-work and evening concerts throughout the city. This is a great way to sample up and coming musical talent at no charge. Bring a bag lunch or take-out, along with your favorite ice cream cone flavors, and enjoy this gift of music for all to hear. Top venues include the Alive at Five Concert Series, presented at Monument Square, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m.; and the Weekday Music Series at Congress Square from 12 noon to 1:00 p.m. In nearby South Portland, be sure to check out the Summer Concerts at Mill Creek with concerts in July and August from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. – visit www.southportland.org for further details.
