Working Together

Midcoast Maine has always been an area of activity, particularly in the summer. This is especially evident as we enjoy warm weekends full of art, entertainment, and culture such as the recent North Atlantic Blues Festival put on by our local businesses and organizations.

Community has always been a very important aspect of the Maine way of life, and the Midcoast is lucky to be surrounded by active civic members and socially responsible businesses to enforce this value. And it is through the preservation of this treasured sense of community that local businesses have learned the power of working together. They understand that pooling the resources and skills of the area’s diverse organizations is a way to not only create a strong final product, but to generate an attractive hub of activity and a vibrant economy for all.

A great example of this teamwork amongst our local businesses is the recent GloryWorks celebration for 4th of July. This event, put on by Rockland’s All Aboard Trolley & Limousine Co., included the resources and services of multiple local businesses. GloryWorks offered participants a cruise on the M/V Monhegan, including transportation to and from the event provided by All Aboard Trolley, delicious appetizers by Café Miranda, drinks provided by the boat’s full bar, as well as a DJ and EStanley Photography to record the event. This teamwork culminated in a fabulous night for guests that concluded in a spectacular fireworks show in Camden’s harbor.

GloryWorks is just one example of the many shared events that encompass the Midcoast and its thriving community. By working together, these local businesses are learning to balance their industry while preserving the qualities that make Maine so unique.
