Arts in the Park - THANK YOU!


What a great time we had at this year's Arts in the Park! Even with Saturday rain, we were so glad to see people attend and make it back Sunday too. This event really does kick off the summer season here in Belfast and we couldn't do it without all of these amazing artists and fine crafters. They greatly appreciate your patronage and support. And thank you for supporting Maine arts and the Belfast Area Chamber's annual event.


Immense thanks to our returning Platinum Event Sponsors, KSW Federal Credit Union and RE/MAX Jaret & Cohn -Belfast Real Estate. Thanks to our Special Event Sponsor Camden National Bank and our music sponsor Melanie Frazek Attorney and Counselor at Law.
