The major tourist attraction in Bangor, for many people, is the shopping deals. Bangor is home to most outlet stores, situated off Highway 95, Exit 186 or 187, on 663 Stillwater Avenue (Phone 207/947-7333, Itracy@kravco.com). The stores available are Target, Sears, Filenes, Wal-Mart, Eagle Outfitters, The Home Depot, Burlington Coat Factory, and many more. See a list of all the shops at http://bangor-me.mallsbycity.com/stores.htm.${QuickSuggestions} Taking a walk along the Penobscot River and along the Kenduskeag Stream is highly recommended. But do so during summer; any other season will be gloomy and not as pleasant. The summer season also offers you a greater array of activities:
The Artisan Market, every Thursday between June 16 to July 21, offers you free music concerts.

Events at the Bangor Public Library include band concerts and plays.
The Sidewalk Art Festival is held every August 6 in downtown Bangor.
The American Folk Festival August 26 to 28 is a free multi-stage festival. ${BestWay}
