There’s a lot happening on the Blue Hill Peninsula and across Deer Isle–Stonington—live music, workshops, festivals, kids’ activities, and more. Our events calendar is here to put those happenings in one place so you can spot what’s coming up, make plans with friends, and plug into community life close to home.
You’ll find a mix of free and ticketed events, from nonprofit fundraisers and public programs to special performances and seasonal celebrations.
Events appear in order by date.
