Hi all,

I am spreading the word of The Crooked River Gathering happening in Hiram, Maine on Labor Day weekend.  FEaturing a wide selection of local and regional bluegrass and Old -time performers, the event will also include old-time duet Two Runner from California and Grammy Award Winners Michael Cleveland and Jason Carter!  

The Crooked River Gathering is a bluegrass festival featuring camping, music, and homesteading/DIY skillshares and demonstrations. More than a festival, it is a celebration of the community built around bluegrass and old time music, farming, homesteading, and artisan creativity. You are ‘part of the show’. The event takes place over four days, and features live music, vendors, food trucks and craft beer, and educational workshops, community meetups, and skillshares.

The event is hosted by The North Atlantic Arts Alliance, a 501c3 charity organization whose mission is to enrich our rural Maine communities through arts performance, education, and the support of local agriculture, business and sustainable practices. If you are interested in being part of the Founders Circle for this event, please reach out to us directly.

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.

Learn more and help us grow this festival from the ground up!  www.crookedriverarts.org
