Wild Light

Spend a summer afternoon at one of western Maine’s most beloved annual gatherings! 

Wild Light is our free, public day of art, music, and community on the shores of Kezar Lake. Wander the grounds of our historic lakeside property, meet artists, and soak up everything that makes Hewnoaks (and Lovell!) so special.
