The now-defunct Scarborough Downs racetrack was known as one of the great harness racing tracks in America. But did you know that The Downs also hosted some pretty amazing concerts in its history? You might be surprised at who came to Scarborough! There are not a ton of shows (we count 6) but they were all high-caliber artists that ran the gamut of music genres. Country, Metal, Hip-Hop, The Downs saw it all!
Between 1986 and 1997 there were 75 concerts at The Ballpark in OOB. Big names too! We've compiled a list of every show and hope it brings back good musical memories for you!
We heard amazing stories of people seeing bands like Aerosmith playing high school functions before they got famous. Or a woman who saw the Grateful Dead when she was 6 months old. So many great stories!
The Maine Savings Pavilion at Rock Row in Westbrook is unlikely to host any outdoor concerts this summer due to an ongoing noise dispute with neighbors
