Music and Community
The Side Door Coffeehouse is a venue for local musicians and other talents (professional and amateur) to share their talents, and for residents and visitors of the Midcoast community to enjoy great entertainment and conversation in a relaxed setting. A fundraiser for the church, the “Side Door” is organized by UUCB’s Music Director, Will Bristol, with a group of volunteers to help make the evening run smoothly.
The Side Door Coffeehouse operates on the second Friday of every month except August.
