3 Best Performing Arts Venues in Camden, Penobscot Bay

Throughout the year, Camden's historic opera house presents a full calendar of concerts, plays, and dance performances, as well as an annual film festival.

One of the biggest and most colorful events of the year is the Camden Windjammer Festival, which takes place over Labor Day weekend. The harbor is packed with historic vessels, there are lots of good eats, and visitors can tour the magnificent ships.

Every year, a professional troupe of actors presents a midsummer festival of Shakespeare plays beside the harbor. Held in Camden's beautiful amphitheater, the performances strive to engage audiences of all ages, including children. The festival is presented in association with the Camden Public Library.
