Artpark & Company was the place to be over the weekend, as it hosted three popular, mainstream music acts, and a special family-friendly circus.
On Friday night, the Artpark & Company Amphitheater crowd was treated to a bevy of 1990s/2000 hits, as it welcomed Toad the Wet Sprocket (“All I Want,” “Good Intentions,” “Fall Down,” “Walk on the Ocean”), KT Tunstall (“Other Side of the World,” “Black Horse and the Cherry Tree,” “Suddenly I See,” “The Boys of Summer” cover) and Sixpence None the Richer (“Don’t Dream It’s Over,” “There She Goes,” “Kiss Me”).

Flip Fabrique, from Quebec, Canada, brought its “Summer Break” performance – and double-decker “Summer Break Bus”/stage – to Lewiston, showcasing a circus-styled acrobatic recital of what it was like being at summer camp for the very first time (complete with new friends, hijinks and nostalgia).
Despite a few raindrops, the show went on – and was well-received by patrons in attendance.
“Artpark’s Cirque Festival” also offered face-painting and hands-on activities for children.
