Pier Ministry Festival

Events and performances

A free, family-friendly variety show produced by The Salvation Army. Come for four nights of fun giveaways, balloon animals, face painting, magic and dancing. Sing-along, dance along, grab a bite at a local vendor and enjoy the show!

What’s This All About?

The Salvation Army has been producing the Old Orchard Beach Pier Festival in various forms for almost 100 years, though it’s only been this large a scale for the past 10. They come every summer and set up a huge stage right in the parking lot at the end of the loop. Many of our friendly staff are volunteering their time to bring Light and Love to you! They are there to put on a great show with a simple message; You are Loved salvation

Acts

The program matures with the night, though every minute is family-oriented. Starting at 7pm, grab your kids to dancealong to today’s hit music. Then, sing-along with a live band to all your favorite kids songs like Baby Shark and Wheels on The Bus. Don’t miss some special appearances (and photo ops!) with your favorite princesses and heroes. As the sun sets, you’ll be amazed by a magician and thrilled by a team of dancers. Our M.C. might just pull you up on stage for some interactive games and comedy. An original movement piece will be performed by a team who toured in Costa Rica this summer! The night will end with all your favorite 80’s rock-and-roll hits as a live band closes out the show.
