When chocolate, graham crackers, marshmallows and fire get together, something delicious happens.
Friends of Congress Square Park agrees and recently announced the return of its S’mores Nights.
S’mores Night happens every Thursday from 4-6 p.m. in Congress Square Park in Portland (at the intersection of Congress and High streets).
Gather one and all to partake of free s’mores around fire pits. All of the ingredients will be provided.
If you can swing it, a $5 donation will help the nonprofit Friends of Congress Square Park keep the centrally located urban spot bustling with activities all year long.
A guest vendor will be on site every week selling hot beverages, and other activities each week may include mini-markets, live music and shadow puppet shows from Mayo Street Arts.
S’mores Nights are every Thursday, from now through February. For more information, head to congresssquarepark.org.

We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It’s a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others. Read more...
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.
