Art of Biddeford - Arts in the Community

August 2025

About This Art Walk

The August Art Walk culminates at Fringe Fest, starting at 7:00 p.m. on Washington Street!

Artist vendors are invited to set up tables and tents on sidewalks throughout the downtown. In some cases, business owners will have invited a particular artist to set up outside their business, so please watch for signage indicating a spot is reserved.
