Bangor Beautiful and Waterfront Concerts are pleased to present the Waterfront Concerts Fence Murals, a 760 foot series of murals along Main Street. We are collaborating with Jared Goulette aka The Color Wizard and 20 local artists to fill the long wooden fence in front of the Maine Savings Amphitheater with murals on the theme of ‘Maine.’

The largest mural will be painted by Jared Goulette on the first 75 foot section directly in front of the stage. It has been commissioned by Waterfront Concerts to target the thousands of concert goers who visit Main Street by depicting the words “We hope you have a Wicked Good Time” in a vintage postcard style. The background and inside of the letters will be fi lled with images of central Maine landscapes, such as lakes and mountains. The mural will be painted over two days in June 2025.

Accompanying the murals, in keeping with Bangor Beautiful’s efforts to combine art and nature, a number of short, native ground cover plants such as ferns and wildflowers will be planted at the base of the fence to help create additional beauty and pollinator habitat.

We hope this project helps to beautify our Main Street through the collaborative eff orts of local artists and community volunteers.

Our friends at Waterfront Concerts are the lead sponsor on this project!
