It’s almost unheard of for a nonprofit to last 90 years — NINETY YEARS. ALMOST A CENTURY. But here we are talking about Portland Ovations, who just hit that milestone and is celebrating with a massive fundraising event this Thursday, March 25.

“Pop 90” is loaded with…everything, honestly. From an exclusive pre-party that lets you take advantage of these massive “Pop Party Boxes” that Portland Ovations is putting together filled with LOCAL products (popcorn from Coastal Maine Popcorn Company, 2 beers from Rising Tide, and a TON more), to the main event that’s being livestreamed from the Merrill, to an after-party hosted by Cherry Lemonade, PLUS a silent auction — Pop 90 is STACKED.

Aimee Petrin, the Executive and Artistic Director of Portland Ovations, hopped on the phone to talk more in-depth about “Pop 90” and highlight exactly what’s going on with the event, how they’ve survived during the pandemic, and talked more about what’s up for grabs with the silent auction.

Virtual or not, “Pop 90” sounds like it’s going to be a real fun night of LOCAL entertainment, and a killer way to spend Fri-Yay Eve! Can’t wait
