We’re building a stage in year one! There’s only one year to join in on the Founding Circle of committed members who help us fund the stage that will carry us through decades of community celebration and enjoyment!

Every gathering needs a stage! But…we don’t have one, yet! In this inaugural year, we are working with many fine folks who have donated time and expertise to help us construct this beautiful performance space for artists, and we are currently raising $25,000 to help us purchase the materials. Your donations are tax deductible!
Our host organization, The North Atlantic Arts Alliance, is a 501c3 nonprofit, whose mission is to enrich our rural Maine communities by supporting arts performance and education, as well as local agriculture and business, honoring the values of community, sustainability, and equity. You can read more about NAAA here.
Our event supports regional and local artists, vendors, farmers, and creatives, and is free to children (ages 17 and under!), as well as all residents of our school district SAD55. This stage will allow us to continue to fulfill our mission, attract national headliners and sustain growth as we continue to develop this community driven event.
Last fundraising update: August 1st- We are almost to our final goal– thank you!!! Check out our social media for updates on the stage building with fun videos, and sign up for our final work weekend!
