On Friday, July 27, at Waterfront Park in Bangor, there will be a celebration of the very best of 60s music as The Turtles, featuring Flo & Eddie, bring their "Happy Together Tour" to the Queen City for an evening of musical memories served up by the likes of The Buckinghams, Grass Roots, Gary Puckett & The Union Gap, and Micky Dolenz (of The Monkees, of course).

If you are a fan, head to Bangor on the 27th!
