Music Bingo Is Coming Back to Portland

Music Bingo at Ugly Duckling is not your average bingo night. It is a loud little love letter to songs you know, prizes you want, desserts you should absolutely order, and a room full of people singing before they realize they are singing. Hosted by Maggie Unzen, our next Music Bingo series returns in Fall 2026.

Colorful lottery balls with numbers, including yellow, green, blue, purple, and white, are inside a transparent container.

What Is Music Bingo?

This is traditional bingo in Portland, Maine, with a women-in-music twist.

We play classic bingo with real numbers, structured rounds, and prizes every round. The music sets the vibe in the background, featuring women artists tied to each weekly theme.

Six rounds
One winner per round
Optional themed accessories

You can listen to songs you love, play bingo, sip a drink, and still have a conversation. It is social, welcoming, and designed to feel easy, not overwhelming.
