The Baroque on Beaver Festival has over the years established a high class brand name that has also impacted the island in attracting a high echelon of visitors coming back to attend the events year after year. More than half of our rooms and suites have already been booked for the 2024 Baroque on Beaver events. Not only the bookings, but even more importantly the lengths of stay has dramatically improved as a result of the quality of the events.

During the year I am Assistant Principal bassoon of the Indianapolis Symphony, but each summer season I look forward to my “working vacation” at Baroque on Beaver! It is always special to come back and I truly enjoy my time with islanders and fellow musicians. I appreciate the opportunity to play everything from jazz to chamber music to brand-new compositions - with friends, for our terrific audiences.

“Great summer events really help drive people to the Island and the Baroque on Beaver festival is one of them. Every year hundreds of people are introduced to “Island life” while attending the week long festival and many become repeat visitors which is very important to our operation.

The Island is a unique and beautiful place. The music festival brings amazing musicians to a setting that is unlike many they have performed in before. The Island community gets to enjoy great performances while sharing with artists and visitors what it’s like to be part of the Island family.

The week-long festival really provides an opportunity for the community to embrace the performers and the performances.”
