Hotel Wolfe Island

We’re transforming Wolfe Island’s historic hotel and waterfront, creating a home for farm-to-table food, great live music, arts, and community events. We're committed to presenting the best local and national/international touring artists in music, theatre, dance, DJ nights, and more, fostering a creative local arts scene.
