Artpark in Lewiston has a variety of FREE activities and concerts this summer. Please note that parking is $10 per visit per vehicle.
Family Saturdays at Artpark - come enjoy hours of hands-on discovery and family fun and weekly themed workshops that include traditional art activities like pottery, face-painting, the colorful 'costume closet' and much more.

Tuesdays at Artpark free concert series - please note that no outside food or beverage is allowed. Bring a lawn chair or a blanket as your seating. I recommend a lawn chair or you may get trampled at the more crowded concerts. Plan to arrive early in order to get decent parking that isn't 2 miles away. If you arrive later you may find that you have to walk quite a bit to the actual venue.
