Schedule *

When ordering tickets: please be sure to specify which night or nights you want your reservations. We perform Three Nights, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and you must make clear which night/nights you want your reservations for! It’s a theater with seats held for you, not specific seats but number of seats on particular nights. Please make that perfectly clear. Write that request on your check as well please.

Confirmations! PLEASE PROVIDE AN EMAIL ADDRESS AND A PHONE NUMBER, (esp. if you are on a boat) which will be used to confirm that your order has been received!

Please read all the information below. SCMF does not get involved in any moorings! And as of this writing I don’t know if anyone at the Fishermen’s Co-op does either. There may be half a dozen moorings available, but it changes, year-to-year.

THIS SUMMER, AUG 6-8, 2024, WE FOLLOW AFTER THE EGGEMOGGIN REACH REGATTA. WE INVITE ALL PARTICIPATING IN THE ERR TO JOIN US ON SWAN’S ISLAND AFTER the Aug 3th ERR Regatta in 2024.

A big part of the fun is just getting there – by boat, of course! Swan's Island has State of Maine Ferry Service but it doesn't run at night! Unless you have made overnight accommodations on your own, DO NOT plan on coming and “camping somewhere”. Come on a boat and sleep on the boat! Please do not call the Swan's Island Town Office - all you need to know is here!

Sweet Chariot Music Festival does not get involved with moorings or mooring reservations! There are some moorings available from the Swan’s Island Fishermen’s Co-op. You must pay yourself! Last year it was $20/night. You are responsible for your mooring fee.

Scheduling & Ticketing / on Swan's Island

Anyone needing advanced ticket reservations for the Swan's Island shows must provide a tax-deductible gift above and beyond the price of tickets. This practice was initiated to accommodate boats from away and has now been adopted democratically across the board.

All gifts are tax deductible.
SCMF is a 501 c 3 not-for-profit organization.
