KINGFIELD — The annual Kingfield POPS concert and downtown arts festival Saturday will be packed with creativity and talent. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the day will be all about creativity in every arena.

The day of arts includes photographers, painters, musicians and artists specializing in other mediums. Woodworkers will display free-form burl bowls and crafted moose antlers.

While nearby crafters offer vintage chenille stuffed animals, quilted bags and baby slings, local musicians will compete in a traditional Battle of the Bands.

The 11th annual POPS concert will be the grand finale.

According to Lindy Dakers, administrative assistant for the POPS board of directors, the musical offerings will be diverse and exciting.

“The POPS concert is a venue to showcase younger performers, as well as the more seasoned musicians,” she said.

Some performers are old favorites, while others are starting their musical careers before a big audience.

“We’ll feature the Smith Brothers and Flight 317, and a youth music ensemble from Yarmouth,” she said.

The Yarmouth group is part of the 317 Main Community Music Center. Local favorites, The Smith Brothers, will play bluegrass, old-time, Down East, Celtic and modern music on fiddle and guitar. This year’s concert will be headlined by the Bangor Symphony Orchestra, led by Grammy Award-winning conductor Lucas Richman.

The 11th year celebration also features several outstanding guests, including Canada’s Sultans of String. The ensemble has been nominated for nearly two dozen national and international music awards, including the Canadian JUNO, similar to the American Grammy.

Most recently nominated for SiriusXM’s Indie Music “2013 Best World Artist or Group,” Sultans of String shared the spotlight with Grammy stars the Lumineers, Fun and Mumford and Sons. Their diverse playlist includes Spanish Flamenco, Arabic folk, Cuban rhythms and French Manouche gypsy jazz.

Also in this year’s lineup will be Maine singer and songwriter Anni Clark. In 2003, she captured both Female Artist of the Year and Folk Artist of the Year awards in Jam Music Magazine’s Readers’ Pix Awards. She also was nominated in 2006 for Female Vocalist of the Year by the Texas Music Awards. Clark also will appear for a smaller audience at the Herbert Hotel at 7 p.m. Friday.

With two decades of full-time touring and several hit recordings under her belt, she has a loyal Maine audience. Clark plays folk, pop and blues on her six- and 12-string guitars and will include old favorites along with some new recording material.

Other featured artists include The Absentees, a trio playing and singing traditional and contemporary American folk music, and the rousing Western Mountain Trash Can Band.

Gates at the Kennedy Farm open at 4:30 p.m. The site offers parking, but the site is a short walk from downtown. Tickets for adults are $25 at the gate and $20 in advance. Youths ages 17 and younger may attend free of charge. The weather can vary dramatically, but the POPS concert has rarely been moved indoors. Guests are advised to bring sunscreen, a picnic supper, blankets or low-backed chairs and mosquito repellent.

Dakers said bad weather rarely has changed the outdoor venue, but she will post any last-minute changes early Saturday morning at www.kingfieldpops.org. The alternate venue for the concert will be nearby at Mt. Abram High School, also on Route 142.
