The 44th Annual WCSH 6 Sidewalk Art Festival will be August 22, 2009. Approximately 300 artists will display their work in downtown Portland.

The WCSH 6 Sidewalk Art Festival is held on Congress Street from Park Street to Monument Square, through Monument Walk to the corner of Free & Temple Streets.

Congress Street is closed to vehicular traffic, creating a 7-block, pedestrian-friendly, open-air art market and an even more peaceful, safe, and enjoyable environment. The artists are all selling their work, but even if you are not in the market for artwork, it's fun to stroll through the exhibits and chat with the artists.

The WCSH 6 Sidewalk Art Festival is the oldest and largest one-day art show in Northern New England.
