Every year we take a break from the winter chill to celebrate the humanities with the Bangor community. In collaboration with area businesses, museums, and public spaces, as well as local collectives and experts, we host a day of diverse and fun events. Since 2013, The Center has sponsored Bangor Humanities Day, formally Downtown Bangor Public Humanities Day, sometimes organizing it on our own and sometimes partnering with other groups to spearhead the day.
