SAVE THE DATE
First Annual Spring
First Friday & Saturday, May 1–2, 2026
Dear Artists, Performers, Businesses, and Community Partners,
SAVE THE DATE for the first-ever Spring Downtown Lewiston Artwalk, taking place Friday, May 1 (5:00-9:00 p.m.) and Saturday, May 2 (11:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m.) in the heart of downtown Lewiston.
This free, community-driven event will celebrate art, culture, and local business with two distinct experiences:
Friday Evening - First Friday Celebration
A lively kickoff featuring artist and business pairings, live music, and vibrant downtown energy.
Saturday - Family Day
A daytime, family-friendly experience with performances, interactive art activities, demonstrations, and creative competitions.
We invite you to participate. Sign up for our mailing list to stay informed and to receive registration information as soon as it is available.
ARTISTS
Visual artists of all mediums are invited to showcase their work inside downtown businesses transformed into pop-up gallery spaces for the weekend.
PERFORMERS
Musicians, dancers, spoken word artists, and performers of all kinds are encouraged to get involved. You are welcome to coordinate directly with a downtown business to arrange your performance, or the Artwalk Committee can assist in pairing you with a participating host location.
BUSINESSES
Open your doors and be part of the experience. Participating businesses serve as gallery and performance hosts, welcoming new visitors and increasing foot traffic throughout the event.
SPONSORS
This event is entirely community-supported. Sponsorships directly fund a free public event that brings hundreds of residents and visitors into downtown. Multiple sponsorship levels will be available, with recognition throughout event promotions and activities.
This event belongs to the community and only happens because people like you choose to participate. We hope you’ll join us in making this inaugural spring Artwalk something truly special. We look forward to seeing you in May!
Warmly,
The Downtown Lewiston Artwalk Committee
