Bucksport's Wednesday on Main

06/09/2026

The new Wednesday On Main PLUS Winter Event Series has received grant funding from the Maine Community Foundation!

This support helps bring free or low-cost, family-friendly holiday programming to Bucksport at both The Alamo Theatre and the Bucksport Performing Arts Center (BPAC). Located adjacent to Bucksport Middle School, the BPAC seats nearly 500 people, offers excellent acoustics, abundant parking, and is fully handicapped accessible.

The Wednesday on Main PLUS Winter Series includes:
🎁 A holiday performance by Grammy Award-winning composer and pianist Paul Sullivan, bringing notable friends along to greet the season, on December 6 at BPAC, Time TBA
🎁 The Bagaduce Chorale, 70+ voices offering traditional holiday and chorale music to fill the hall with pure delight, accompanied by the incomparable GEM Ensemble, on December 20 at BPAC, Time TBA
🎁 A FREE performance of The Grinch by Frogtown Mountain Puppeteers with popcorn generously provided by Bucksport’s beloved independent bookstore, BookStacks, on December 12 at The Alamo Theatre, 4:00 pm, Doors at 3:30 pm.

These events offer joyful, welcoming experiences for every age during the holiday season and utilize BPAC to schedule performances and artists whose shows require larger venues to Bucksport.

The Program Director notes that “Holiday events for 2026 were in jeopardy in our community and because of the insight and generous support of the Maine Community Foundation, we can create moments to cheer us, bring laughter to children and extraordinary musical experiences designed to lighten, lift and enrich our souls. It means so much.”

The Maine Community Foundation brings people and resources together to build a better Maine through strategic giving, community leadership, personalized service, local expertise and strong investments. To learn more about the foundation, visit www.mainecf.org.

Whether you're a longtime supporter or planning your first visit, we invite you to join us at the Alamo Theatre, the Bucksport Performing Arts Center, and throughout our downtown community for another year of memorable experiences.

Before they fill the season with festive holiday music this December, The Bagaduce Chorale invites audiences to experience something extraordinary this Spring.

Join the acclaimed chorale for Sir Karl Jenkins’ powerful A Mass for Peace: The Armed Man — a rare Maine performance featuring full orchestra alongside the official “Armed Man” film shown simultaneously with the music.

These events are coming up SOON at Ellsworth High School Auditorium on Saturday, May 23 & Sunday, May 24.

And mark your calendars now for December 20, when the Bagaduce Chorale returns to Wednesday on Main with their glorious holiday concert featuring 70+ singers under the direction of Bronwyn Kortge — a seasonal favorite that sold out last year!

Don’t miss the chance to experience the power of this remarkable ensemble in both seasons.

Thank you for a wonderful afternoon! 🎄

A huge thank you to Frogtown Mountain Puppeteers for bringing “The Grinch” to life at The Alamo Theatre this past Saturday. The hand-crafted puppets, playful twists, and joyful energy made for a truly magical (and very Grinchy!) holiday performance.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this free, family-friendly show, enjoyed popcorn from BookStacks, and helped fill Main Street with laughter and cheer. We loved seeing so many families stick around afterward to continue the fun at the Parade of Lights and Fireworks. What a perfect way to kick off the season together!
