Belfast Free Range Music Festival


About Us:

​Born out of the Free Range Music Festival, the Free Range Music Series presents live music events in Belfast and greater Waldo County, Maine. Honoring the diverse music history of the area, the series presents a wide range of genres and musicians from both near and far.

Presented in partnership with Waterfall Arts, a community arts center with a mission to create community in harmony with nature through the transformative power of the arts.

The Free Range Music Festival was a volunteer powered celebration of original music in Belfast, Maine.  The event took place over the downtown area and turned unconventional spaces – the local movie theater, churches, the Legion Hall, dining rooms, the library, galleries, vacant houses and more – into music venues. Participating musicians traveled from near and far, representing a wide range of genres and musical backgrounds, everything from rock to bluegrass, a capella vocal groups to hip hop. During its 5 year run, the festival never repeated a lineup and hosted over 125 local, regional and nationally touring acts.
