Theatre & Music

While staying in the Acadia National Park area, you can take advantage of the various opportunities in Bar Harbor and the other surrounding communities to enjoy live theatre, music, plays, and other artistic productions. The area hosts a music festival in late summer and early fall. This is a great place to display the arts in a pristine setting along the rugged coastline of Maine.
