Brewer’s once hazardous riverfront has transformed into a regional attraction

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • May 10, 2022

A mile-long riverfront path that has slowly come to life over the past 20 years in a previously hazardous area has become a source of pride for Brewer and a regional attraction as it continues to expand and spur economic development. Since then, it’s become a popular attraction in the region, and its popularity grew during the COVID-19 pandemic, when some of the only available activities involved outdoor recreation. Next month, the city hopes to celebrate the walking path with a Riverwalk Festival on June 4.
