Kegs & Roses 2024

Saturday, June 29th 5pm

Experience the magic
of Kegs & Roses…

Once a year…

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

This year a magical floral display will be installed on the tower by Taylor Morris Floral Design Studio in honor of Beckett Castle's 150th anniversary!

5-6pm: enjoy local brews or a glass of wine while wandering the garden at peak bloom which features over 70 varieties of heirloom roses.

6-7:30pm: be serenaded by our 2024 artists-in-residence in an unforgettable Maine summer outdoor concert accompanied by the crashing ocean waves.
