Although Columbus Day has passed, our region is still buzzing with activity, so read a bit and see what’s coming your way.

On Sunday, Oct. 20, shuck on over to Mine Oyster for the final day of Oysterfest 2013. Enjoy $1 each on Glidden Point Oysters all day, along with live music, drink specials, oyster shucking contests and more.

There are a few interesting options on Tuesday, Oct. 22. At the Harbor Theatre at 6 p.m., owner Jason Sheckley will screen the classic “Casablanca” as a tribute to the late Phil “The Baker” McLellan. This free event includes homemade desserts, coffee and popcorn.

Alternatively, if you’d like to learn how you can save money and decrease your use of electricity, make sure to attend a public meeting on solar incentives, which are now available to residents of the peninsula. That’s from 6-8 p.m. at the Boothbay town office.

On Thursday, Oct. 24, join in with the Walkability Steering committee for a free workshop catered by McSeagull’s. The group aims to come up with Boothbay’s “brand.” Register at www.friendsmidcoast.org/registerboothbay.htm/. Afterwards, head over to the Boothbay Harbor House of Pizza for a new daily special feature: Thursdays are all-you-can-eat pizza buffet for $12.99.

Enjoy some tunes with your surf and turf as the Steve Jones Band plays from 5:30 to 8:30 on Friday, Oct. 25 at Robinson’s Wharf.

There are so many Halloween and pre-Halloween events going on for the next couple weeks, we decided to put them all in one place. Click here to see what’s up for this weekend when it comes to ghouls, ghosts and obscene amounts of candy.
