Festival Center consists of two locations, across the street
from each other. One is the
Fire Station Community Room, where registration and
lunches, among other things, will happen. Directly across the street is the
Acadia Repertory Theater where evening presentations, and
other activities will occur. Workshops will be in one of these two locations
- look for postings to determine which building. Parking may become crowded
at times, and some cars may need to be parked on the street. If possible,
try to carpool.

Head southeast on ME-3 E/High St for 9.4 miles. After crossing onto

What should I bring?
In addition to your birding equipment, be sure to bring warm
clothes, rain gear, and mosquito repellent. The weather can be
cool or hot. Typically in early June we can expect temperatures in the
60s and 70s. It could be clear or rainy. If you are signed up to
do the whale watch and seabird boat trip, bring WINTER clothes. It
is always cold out on the water.
