DETAILED EVENT INFORMATION

Welcome to Sunaana. An all-ages music and craft beer festival locked deep in New England’s unrelenting winter. It’s a multi-day party that brings people together to celebrate the cold by embracing the new. Proudly held in Brick South on Thompson’s Point in Portland, Maine.

​

Inuit for “what is it”, the word SUNAANA was chosen as the event’s namesake to elicit feelings of discovery amongst attendees. Musical performances are curated in a manner to ensure the listener hears something they never have before. Immersive visualizations and performance art flutter and pop throughout the primary venue of Brick South, and craft beer from across the country are thoughtfully selected and poured out of the Maine Beer Box.

​

The long-term vision of Sunaana is to be a community-wide event that embraces all elements of the Portland identity. Year two brings a step in this direction via the inclusion of offsite venues and a growing involvement of creative and passionate contributors.
