Join WinterKids to kick off the season at License to Chill!

Monday, November 16, 2020 – Tickets are available now to join your favorite Maine bands at WinterKids live virtual event this Thursday, November 19, 2020.

Presented by the Thomas Agency, this is the first time the 9th Annual WinterKids License to Chill is VIRTUAL. With the ongoing pandemic, WinterKids has adapted their signature winter kick-off event, traditionally held in person at Portland House of Music.

The live event will feature music by the Ghost of Paul Revere, the Mallett Brothers Band, and Lyle Divinsky. Guests will also enjoy a healthy dose of comedy with Maine’s Funniest Mom, Karen Morgan. The event will wrap up with a live auction hosted by the Coast 93.1’s Blake Hayes.

The silent auction portion of this event has been running for 2 weeks, and will stay open until 8 p.m. on Thursday. With over 100 amazing silent auction items to bid on, there is something great for everyone’s early holiday shopping list. Items include restaurant gift cards, glamping, overnight hotel stays, house cleaning, jewelry, winter gear and more. Items release online in three waves over the next two weeks. You can register for free online at WinterKids.org to participate in the silent auction.

For just $20 per person, you can participate in this live event from the comfort of your home. There is an option to add a goody bag on to your ticket price, which includes drinks from Allagash Brewing and Maine Craft Distilling, and a large pizza from Portland Pie Co.
