Great Waters welcomes its first diamond partner

WOLFEBORO — Great Waters Music Festival is thrilled to enter into its first diamond partnership with long-term sponsor Eastern Propane and Oil.

As an avid supporter of music and the arts, Eastern continues to make a difference in several areas of the Lakes Region. As one of New England’s largest energy retailers, Eastern has been a family-owned business for over 90 years and is steadfast in its commitment to supporting local community events and charitable organizations.

“The foundation of Eastern Propane and Oil is family and community. Without wonderful organizations like Great Waters supporting the arts, future generations would be deprived of the remarkable talents those locally and around the world, graciously share,” said Whitney Cloutier, Eastern Propane and Oil marketing manager. “We are proud to enter into this partnership so we can not only enjoy fantastic shows this summer but support those aspiring to continue their education in the arts.”

In 2021, Great Waters entered into an agreement with the Castle in the Clouds in Moultonborough to present musical performances in the summer in a 450-seat Losberger acoustic tent. In addition to this undercover seating, there is plenty of room for lawn seating in the field across from Shannon Pond. For the past three years, pre-concert receptions have been held in the Eastern Propane and Oil Hospitality Tent next to the main tent.

This new Eastern partnership has fueled Great Waters’ enthusiasm to create new and exciting opportunities for those who attend performances. Located in the recently reimagined hospitality tent, Great Waters is now offering a new membership known as the Cloud Club.

This member-only opportunity will include preferred parking, complimentary food and drink, early access to ticket sales, and much more.

Joan Myers, Great Waters executive director, is thrilled to offer this new membership to its patrons, “for years, we have known that many of our concertgoers hoped for an opportunity to arrive early, enjoy refreshments, and mingle with other music-loving patrons. We are so grateful to Eastern Propane and Oil for helping us achieve this strategic goal.”

As part of the Great Waters’ partnership, Eastern will participate in the Great Waters scholarship program. Local students graduating from both public and private high schools in towns surrounding Lake Winnipesaukee who plan to specialize in some form of theater production, music education, or performance are eligible to apply. Scholarship awards are also available to college undergraduate and graduate students for the same purpose.
