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!
