Welcome to DownEast Acadia!

Notation at printing for this 2020 edition: one third of this year’s publication was moved to 2021 because
we had a special focus on theatres in the region, as well as music schools and venues. Due to most now
being shuttered for 2020 because of the world health crisis, we opted to move those features to next year’s
edition, so the content would be as accurate as possible. Although we are 40 fewer pages due to those
changes, we still have a great deal of info on the region’s artists, galleries, crafts, and museums!

Penobscot Observatory Bridge, between Prospect and Verona Island, and the Fort at Fort Knox Maine, Prospect.

After crossing the Penobscot Observatory Bridge onto Verona Island, head into Bucksport and don’t forget
to turn LEFT at the light, so you don’t miss the downtown, with its shops and restaurants!
