The Blue Boat Coffeehouse
A great night out for the community, for great local causes, by great local artists!
First Parish's Blue Boat Coffeehouse has been highlighting the incredible talent of local South Shore adults and youth since 2016. It provides a fun, family-friendly, safe and sober Saturday evening out for the whole community, while raising funds and awareness for local non-profit organizations. The shows are free and open to the public.
Enjoy the "best acoustics in Scituate" in our sanctuary, or duck out to the Sloop Room to catch up with neighbors, have some coffee and a brownie, or see what the kids have created at the tables.
This year we are back with a full schedule of events! This season we will present shows in two exciting formats: Traditional Coffeehouse with featured artists and local favorites, and Blue Boat Presents with bands performing in concert.

Organizations and causes we have supported in the past include Appleton Field Community Garden; South Shore Peer Recovery; Scituate Food Pantry; the South Shore Resource and Advocacy Center (as part of the Concert Across America); NeighborWorks / Housing Solutions for Southeastern Mass; Scituate Friends of Music; Scituate STEAM; Scituate participants in the Appalachian Service Project; Provincetown's Summer of Sass.
Concerts are booked by the volunteer team. Traditional coffeehouse line-ups are managed in coordination with Ken Swart, a noted Scituate-based performing artist. Although the coffeehouse format is not strictly open-mic, the team encourages performers of any age and genre to contact us for potential inclusion in the shows.
