Portland Observatory
9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday through Monday. Portland Observatory, 138 Congress St., Portland. Advanced, timed tickets required, $10. portlandlandmarks.org/observatory
Greater Portland Landmarks was thrilled to reopen Portland Observatory for tours this month. Now’s your chance to see first-hand the last remaining maritime signal tower in the country. It was build by Captain Lemuel Moody in 1807 and would help vessels safely secure wharf space. There’s a heck of a view from the top of it, so book your slot and be ready for a history lesson as you climb the stairs.

Outdoor Sound Bathing
6:30 p.m. Saturday. Camden Amphitheatre at Camden Public Library, 55 Main St., free, donations accepted. librarycamden.org
On the eve of the summer solstice, here’s a unique way to literally ring in the season. Sound therapist Jim Doble invites you to bring a chair, blanket or yoga mat to relax on as you listen to the sounds of his gongs and chimes on the lawn of Camden Library’s amphitheatre. You’ll also hear the ancient tubular instrument called the didgeridoo and the dord (Celtic metal horns) played by Forest Weston. Doble will host additional sound immersions on July 5 and 19 and Aug. 2, 13 and 30. These will indeed be good vibrations.
