Thursdays On the Prom:

Your Free Summer Concert Series!

Thursdays at 6 p.m. at the Fort Allen Park Bandstand

Friends of the Eastern Promenade finds great joy in hosting our annual free, family-friendly Community Concert Series. For more than a decade, people of all ages have attended our concerts with lawn chairs, blankets, hula-hoops and smiles; food truck have provided an assortment of delicious local cuisine; a variety of musical genres from Maine and beyond have provided sounds for everyone to enjoy while watching the sun set and the moon rise over the bay. It is a wonderful joining of people & an example of a strong community in its truest form.

Cleaning Up The Park!

Off to a Strong Start in 2026

This environmentally inclined effort began in 1995 and became a formal program of Friends of the Eastern Promenade in 2006. Under the organization’s direction, this program continues to grow. In 2026, two clean-up days were held, attracting neighbors from around the area to help; and now monthly clean-ups will begin in May 2026!

In addition to our hands-on clean up of parks, beaches and neighborhoods, we educate participants on the importance of proper disposal of all waste.

Join your community and help clean up the park and neighborhood of rubbish, refuse and doggie doo.
