Remick is one of three locations where musicians will perform. For our part, the front porch of the Museum Center will be the location to catch Fiona Howell of the White Mountains Céilí Band from 1:30–2:30 p.m. It’s sure to be a toe-tapping treat!

Additional things to do in the village the same day:
More at Remick…
+ The museum is open 10 a.m.-3 p.m. for self-guided tours. The week of the event (Tuesday, August 25-Saturday, August 30), sheet music and record albums from the Remick collection will be displayed. The upright piano and stereo console located in the “Doc and Marion’s Apartment” exhibit in the Museum Center are relics of their love of music and dancing. Fun fact: As a couple, they received “Best Dancers” honors while attending Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro.

Play Music on the Porch Day started out as an idea: What if, for one day, everything stopped, and we all just listened to the music? Could common ground be found through music?
In 2014, Play Music on the Porch Day became a worldwide event and by 2018, thousands of musicians from 70+ countries and thousands of cities participated and the movement is growing. Visit the event’s website.
