Merrymakers of all ages are invited to shake it all out at Jailhouse Rock, an evening of food, fun and foot-tapping tunes at Wiscasset’s Old Jail on Federal Street. The rollicking  music will be provided by the jazz-rock-blues band Leopard Girls, beginning at 5 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 8, rain or shine.

Partygoers should note that "arrests" have been made at this event in the past for rocking too hard. It might just happen again. Perhaps you have a deviant friend, kid, or spouse who needs to be locked up. The “sheriff” will be taking requests. Be sure to have some cash on hand to bail them out.

Bring your own picnic or purchase food at the jail. Lincoln County Historical Association has invited Wiscasset Partners in Education to sell picnic fare at reasonable prices to benefit school programs. In addition, kids and kids-at-heart will participate in games and races, and those interested in glimpsing the austere cells in the 215 year-old granite jailhouse will be treated to brief tours.

Tickets for adults are just $5; kids are free. Purchase at the event or visit lincolncountyhistory.org to purchase tickets online.

The Lincoln County Old Jail is at 133 Federal St. in Wiscasset.
