CAMDEN

Camden is a harbor town on Penobscot Bay where the mountains meet the sea. The Camden Opera House, a restored 1894 theater on the National Register of Historic Places, serves as the cultural anchor of this midcoast community with a 485-seat auditorium hosting concerts, theater, and film throughout the year.

The Camden Opera House books a range of performances from nationally touring singer-songwriters to local theater productions by Camden Civic Theatre. Bay Chamber Concerts brings classical, jazz, and international artists to the area. The harbor and surrounding hills provide a scenic backdrop that draws performers and audiences alike.

Camden attracts an attentive, arts-minded audience. The compact downtown and harbor are entirely walkable, and the mix of working waterfront and cultural programming gives evenings here a distinct New England character.

Tip: Bay View Street connects downtown to the harbor. Park near the Village Green and walk downhill toward the water for shops, restaurants, and the Opera House.
