Kegs & Roses

Experience the magic
of Kegs & Roses…

Once a year…

…we invite the public to experience the spiritual home of our regenerative artist residency, the rose garden of historic Beckett Castle on the rocky cliffs of the Atlantic Ocean.

Grab a drink and wander the garden at peak bloom which features over 70 varieties of heirloom roses. Artists-in-residence combine music, dance, and floral arrangements with the crashing ocean waves for an unforgettable Maine summer experience.

Many thanks to Allagash Brewing Company for providing the award-winning local beer for Kegs & Roses!
