The Crooked River Gathering

Join Us at the First Annual Crooked River Gathering (45 minutes from Portland, in Hiram Maine). We are proud to present a lineup of music, craft, food, farm goods, and skill sharing demonstrations from the New England community and beyond.

What we offer: Enjoy a full weekend of bluegrass and old timey music from regional based and nationally touring bands, plus overnight camping with campfire jams, open mics and more. Overnight tickets or single day tickets available. Food trucks, craft beer vendors, and artisan vendors give you plenty more to check out and enjoy, or grab some produce from the farmers market and cook over the fire. Plus, we’ll have farming, homesteading and resilient skill demonstrations–everything from mushroom identification, to various fermentation techniques (from hard cider to sourdough), how to dry flowers and make a wreath, grow your own herbal tea, build compost, care for your woodlot, and more! This is the kind of event where you meet your best friend that you don’t know yet, if you’re looking for your community, come find it here!

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.

The event runs from Thursday, August 28- Sunday, August 31 with camping available Sunday, August 24 through Monday, September 1.
