There are a handful of dance clubs in the Bangor region with DJs that make it their mission to get you on the dance floor. Get your groove on and have a blast! Live music abounds with open mic nights at local pubs as well as full stage shows at larger concert venues, like the Cross Insurance Center, the Collins Center for the Arts, Gracie Theatre, and the Darling’s Waterfront Pavilion. Some local establishments offer karaoke nights and trivia nights, which is a great way to have a blast with a group of your friends. Get a group of people and join an evening sports league. Several area recreation departments, as well as Fusion: Bangor (a networking group for young Bangor residents), offer team sports like volleyball, softball, soccer, kickball, and dodgeball.
