Calling all yacht rock fans! The Portland Yacht Rock Festival will be on Friday at Aura and tickets are going fast! An all-star line up of local musicians will be slinging soft-rock hits of the ’70s and ’80s all night long. Aura is technically on Center Street, but unofficially we’re calling it Ventura Highway!

We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
