A New Home for Music in Winter Harbor
The Former Baptist Church Becomes the Winter Harbor Music Center
Winter Harbor has always been a place where art, community, and history intersect. Today, we are thrilled to share a transformational new chapter: the historic Winter Harbor Baptist Church will be donated to the Winter Harbor Music Festival. This generous gift provides the Festival with its first permanent home—a space dedicated entirely to music-making, learning, and community engagement.
