Eastport Arts & Poetry Festival

A Seaside Celebration

Rossport By The Sea
Where land surrenders to the restless Atlantic, Rossport By The Sea crowns the rugged shores of Eastport, where Cobscook Bay and Passamaquoddy Bay stretch endlessly before you, and dawn arrives here before anywhere else in the nation. It is a sacred gathering place for poets, artists, musicians, dreamers, and all those who gather to celebrate them, who come to breathe the salt air, wander the meadow paths, and let the sea remind them what it feels like to be truly, wonderfully alive.

Our Setting & Ecological Responsibility
The festival takes place at Rossport By The Sea, within a rare and ecologically significant tidal bay habitat along Passamaquoddy Bay, a living coastal ecosystem we approach with reverence and care. We gather on land that has been home to the Passamaquoddy people since time immemorial, and we carry that history with gratitude and deep respect.
