Lewiston-Auburn Balloon Festival

About

Held each August in Lewiston at Simard-Payne Park, the Lewiston-Auburn Balloon Festival is a free three-day event centered on hot air balloon launches at dawn and dusk, plus a vendor fair featuring Maine-made crafts and artisan goods. Food booths run by local nonprofits, live music, a parade, and family programming round out the schedule. Strong foot traffic and an established community crowd make this a solid fit for craft vendors.
