There will be a FREE concert held in Lakeport Square on Sept. 21.
"Recycled Percussion has met all conditions required to hold an all-day concert and fireworks show." Find the newspaper article online for more information. |
To each his or her own.
Blues Festival at the Weirs the same day! Looks like I will be going back and forth between events. I have a slip at LLM!

Grand Opening Festival of Chaos and Kindness
Bend the Ride has been selected as one of five bands to perform at the Grand Opening Festival of Chaos and Kindness.
Hope to see you there, Bill |
Isn't Lakeport where the Mayor is moving his company and wants to create more parking spots for HIS Business? Hmm, Sounds fishy. Lakeport was never given a thought by the city until his business needed a new home.

The fact that the Laconia Sun's home of many years was sold and the newspaper is renting in a building in Lakeport has no connection to this event. Lakeport has been a concern of the city's and the most recent improvement approved by the city was the Lakeport Landing building purchase and renovation, which looks great. |
Traffic is bad enough in Lakeport Square with all the road work being done (and I have heard into November.) I’m surprised this additional traffic nightmare was approved.

Anyone go to this?
Any reports on how it turned out? |
Attended both
With all the activities this weekend (Multicultural Fest, Highland Games, Broken Spoke, Laconia Blues Fest, Chaos and Kindness) there was a pretty good turnout at both the blues fest and Lakeport.
Excellent lineup at the Weirs! MVB, Chris Fitz, Downtown Dave, Willie J Laws et al. Excellent food etc. All for $10! There were a good share of boats anchored off the swim line. Lots of boats in and out of the channel asking 'what's going on?' DUH! Can't believe the number of people that didn't know about Weirs and Lakeport! I left Weirs and head for Lakeport, by boat of course, around 6p. Just in time for Recycled Percussion concert! It was a must see! I would say they were about 15,000 in attendance. The locals did a great job with crowd control. I was told the bands that played were OK. I'm glad I attended the blues! I had a good seat at O's patio. Great spot away from the crowd, excellent view of both the stage and my gosh! The Fireworks was spectacular! I knew the traffic after the Lakeport fireworks will be a **** storm. So I took the boat back out on Paugus enjoy the Weirs fireworks from a distance, and back to the marina. By that time traffic was flowing freely and head home. Life is good! |
Where did you dock in Lakeport? I didn’t know there was a public dock?

People use to anchor off Bayside Cemetery and shop at Shaw's. The cemetery placed no trespassing signs up. You can always call ahead to Irwin's, LLM or Paugus Bay marina for arrangements if you are a customer. |
Gotcha. Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.

If it is an annual event, a significant change will be at the Elm St, Parade Rd traffic lights. The lights are not timed for such a huge crowd. Traffic was backed up to the square because of the timing. Hopefully they will station a traffic coordinator next year. |
