Year-round Venues
Camden Opera House
The Camden Opera House was built in 1894 and touted as Midcoast Maine’s premier event spot. Past notable performers include the Taj Mahal and the comedic antics of Second City. And this year’s line-up proves to be another blockbuster season of entertainment. To our delight, local, regional, and international artists will take the stage all summer.
Bay Chamber Concerts
Hosted by the Bay Chamber, listen to classical music performed by various artists on string instruments and/or piano. Some concerts are even free to attend. Check pricing, as it varies based on age. Age 35+ and 22-34 pay different rates. Young adults age 21 and under are “pay-what-you-wish,” essentially making a voluntary donation to the Bay Chamber.
Strand Theatre Shows
The Strand Theatre hosts movies, plays, and concerts of all types of music and performance. Each year is different; you’re in for a treat. Check their website for upcoming shows and tickets.
FREE Concerts & Live Music
Jazz in June
On a Friday and Saturday in mid-June, attend the free daytime outdoor concerts at the Jazz in June event. There is a dusk restaurant reception downtown you won’t want to miss. Get tickets in advance from the Camden Opera House website.
Camden Summer Sounds
Camden Summer Sounds was born during the 2020 Pandemic as a way to get people out of the house for some free music. Look for concerts on Sundays in August. These concerts are hosted at the Camden Snow Bowl and sponsored by the Camden Opera House. You’ll find tickets on the Camden Opera House website.
Rock Harbor Pub & Brewery
Live music certainly goes well with a brew in hand. Rock Harbor Pub & Brewery features live music events during evening hours. Grab a taco or burger while you sit back and listen to the tunes.
Grab a bite to eat at one of Rockland’s restaurants with outdoor seating to end your blissful summer night. You can look forward to breakfast tomorrow morning here at Berry Manor Inn.
