GARDINER — Area musicians, businesses and Gardiner Main Street will present the Gardiner Music Walk Saturday, April 16. The music walk takes the concept of Art Walk and infuses a mix of jazz, rock, rhythm and soul. Throughout downtown Gardiner, music will waft in and out of businesses to create a festive evening of shopping, dining, mingling and community, all while supporting well established and burgeoning musicians alike.

April 16 is National Record Store Day. Niche, Inc., Gardiner’s new and used vinyl shop is an official stop on the day meant to celebrate independently owned purveyors of music. Niche has worked with other area businesses who will host a variety of musicians from 5 to 8 p.m. Visitors can stroll around Gardiner and enjoy a spring evening while exploring all that Gardiner has to offer. Inspired visitors to Music Walk can also get involved by participating in a drum circle and make their own music.

Performances will overlap and progress throughout the evening.
