Tuesdays on the Terrace — Raquel & The Wildflowers Tuesday, August 12, 2025, 5:30-7 PM About Raquel & The Wildflowers: Weaving tales of life's adventures through heart-pounding rhythms and powerful lyrics, Raquel & The Wildflowers will take you on a journey where the dust settles and the cowboys & cowgirls dance. Singer/Songwriter Raquel de Souza won a ReverbNation contest in 2018 for her first single "Run Towards the Highway". The song went #32 on DRT Top 50 Country Airplay charts alongside country stars like Carrie Underwood and Luke Bryan. Since then, she has toured the USA independently with her band, lighting up stages featuring headliners like Dierks Bentley, Kane Brown, Thomas Rhett, Sara Evans, and others. About Tuesdays on the Terrace: Enjoy acoustic music each Tuesday evening as various local musicians perform on the open-air stage on the Kennebunk Savings Terrace. Remember to bring lawn chairs or blankets, as the Museum has limited outdoor patio furniture and picnic tables. Tickets: Although tickets are available at the door, registering in advance allows Strawbery Banke to notify you if a concert needs to be canceled due to inclement weather. • Members: Free • Nonmembers: $8.00 • Children (under 3): Free
