Art and Culture: Things to Do
Lubec, Cutler, Trescott, Whiting, Pembroke, Dennysville, and Edmunds, Maine and Campobello Island, New Brunswick, Canada
Start with a history based in Passamaquoddy, French Acadienne, and British cultures, add a few wars, a bit of smuggling, intrigue, with a dash of incredible cliffs and twenty foot tides and you end with an area steeped in history, culture and spectacular (and calming) nature. An area that in and of itself promotes the growth of arts and nurturing of talent.
This art and culture directory is made possible by a grant from the Maine Humanities Council and the Maine Arts Commission. For area-wide events visit Artsipelago (CulturePass)- Arts and Culture of the International Passamaquoddy Region.

APPLE pays tribute to one of our favorites "The Orange River Jazz Band" who has provided better than a half-century of musical service to the area. This VIDEO captures their last performance at Lubec's 4th of July parade, 2022.
