There are a lot of events and activities this weekend. Whether you’re a local or from away, there’s something you will find interesting. At Spectrum News Maine, we want to be your community connection. If you’re looking to attend a concert, an art exhibit, or an event that’s fun for the whole family — we have you covered. Here are some of the activities and events taking place across Maine this weekend:
Friday, June 7
SCCA National Pro Solo
This promises to be an adrenaline-pumping autocross format competition where solo isn’t solo. Drivers run a course by themselves, but start off side-by-side drag racing style and see who gets back to their respective finish lines first. ProSolo class competition takes 1.5 days where each driver gets three sets of runs to put together the best run from each side. Learn more here.
8 a.m. Runs through Sunday. Brunswick Executive Airport, 15 Terminal Road, Brunswick.
