Augusta Events, Things to Do and Festivals 2014 / 2015

(Augusta, Maine - ME, USA)



During the course of the year, a number of very notable festivals are staged here in Augusta, the capital of the state of Maine. However, with such harsh winter weather, the majority of the principal events tend to take place during the warmer summer months.

Many of the main festivities, celebrations and things to do in the city are held at the multi-purpose arena best known as the Augusta Civic Center, which is situated on Community Drive, next to Interstate I-95 (exit 112A) and the University of Maine campus.

The city's Civic Center is a sizeable entertainment venue capable of seating audiences of roughly 6,800 people. It hosts everything from concerts and exhibitions, to themed conventions, basketball tournaments and other sporting events.

If you are here towards the end of June, then do look out for the plethora of activities laid on during the annual Kennebec Valley Chamber of Commerce's Whatever Family Festival. These events are staged not only in Augusta, but also around the nearby small towns of Gardiner, Hallowell and Winthrop.
