Eastport Arts & Poetry Festival

A Seaside Celebration

Nestled on the rugged shoreline of Eastport, Rossport By The Sea Retreat Center offers a bucolic and sweeping panoramic view of the Atlantic Ocean at Cobscook Bay and Passamaquoddy Bay. It welcomes Poets, Artists and Makers, Musicians, and Dreamers to greet the first dawn on the easternmost edge of the United States. Meander along our coastal meadow paths while breathing in the fresh and briny sea air.

The Eastport Arts Center is a cornerstone of creative life on the coast of Maine, uniting theater, music, visual art, film, and education under one historic roof for over 30 years. Housed in a beautifully restored 19th-century church in downtown Eastport, the EAC is home to a vibrant family of arts organizations and serves as one of the region’s premier venues for performances, exhibitions, and community gatherings.
