MAIN STREET
Join us for a colorful celebration of art & creativity!
This juried show turns Main Street into an open-air art gallery! The Saco Arts Festival returns for its 55th edition in 2026. This event features juried artists and fine crafts, live music, and activities for art lovers of all ages.
After a detour to CK Burns School last year, we are thrilled to announce that the 55th Annual Saco Arts Festival will return to Main Street in 2026! For over five decades, Main Street has been where this festival truly comes alive: the historic street, vibrant storefronts, and welcoming community create an event that both artists and visitors love. When the festival fills Main Street, the entire downtown becomes a part of the celebration—we can’t wait to share it with you this June!
