SUN JOURNAL • August 24, 2026

While weather limited some flights over the weekend, organizers said strong crowds and new attractions revealed once again the appeal of one of Lewiston-Auburn’s greatest events. “Seeing thousands of people come together in Lewiston and Auburn, make memories with their families and enjoy our community is exactly why we do this. There are certainly things we learned this year and things we will look at as we plan for the future, but I think we can all be very proud of what our community accomplished this weekend.”
