Summer & Fall Sidewalk Art Festivals

The Downtown Bangor Sidewalk Art Festivals provide a wonderful opportunity to shop for unique items from our jury-selected artists from all across the state while enjoying Downtown Bangor during the most beautiful times of the year. Held the first Saturdays in July and October, each Festival features a wide array of artists and artisan crafters from across the State of Maine. In addition to vendors, each festival features live performances, a variety of food, and activities suitable for families.

As the premier arts and culture destination in Central Maine, the Downtown Bangor Partnership seeks to highlight the artists and arts organizations located in the Bangor Region. Visitors are encouraged to stroll the streets of the entire Downtown area to explore its public art, permanent statues and numerous galleries. Downtown also offers a variety of shops and restaurants!
