About this Event

MyMaine Fall Launch Party: Yacht Rock Edition (not on a boat)

Ahoy, party people! It's time to trade your work shoes for boat shoes, dust off that captain's hat, and embrace your inner salty dog.

Join MyMaine's contributors, partners, readers, and local celebrities as we launch our Fall issue with an evening inspired by the carefree world of Yacht Rock...that magical place where the sunsets are golden, the cocktails are cold, and somehow you know every lyric to every Michael McDonald, Christopher Cross, Kenny Loggins, and Steely Dan song.

But this isn't just a party—it's a chance to make waves. This season's nonprofit partner is SailMaine, an incredible organization introducing students of all ages and abilities to the lifelong joys of sailing while building confidence, resilience, leadership, and a deep connection to Maine's coast. Every raffle ticket helps support their mission of ensuring that the water belongs to everyone.

So gather your first mates, polish your dockside dance moves, and join us for an evening that's equal parts smooth, salty, and spectacular.

• 🍹 Bar Publica — Golden Hour-inspired bites, craft cocktails, and the perfect rooftop setting (not on a boat but you can SEE the water!)
• 🎶 The Wave Radio — Smooth Yacht Rock classics and feel-good tunes all night long.
• 📖 An Exclusive First Look — Be among the first to pick up and explore the brand-new Fall issue of MyMaine.
• ⛵ Supporting SailMaine — Every raffle ticket helps empower the next generation of Maine sailors through confidence, leadership, and adventure on the water.

Dress the part: Think Newport yacht club meets 1979 marina happy hour: Breezy linen shirts and pants, nautical stripes, white denim, loafers or boat shoes, flowy caftans, maxi dresses, oversized sunglasses, silk scarves, gold jewelry, captain's hats, aviators, vintage polos, sweater draped over your shoulders, and yes—even a perfectly groomed mustache (real or not).

Come for the Yacht Rock. Stay because you became the captain of the dance floor.
