If the Franklin Street Parklet looks a little brighter this week, you can thank our Parks, Recreation & Facilities team!
Daniel, James, Caleb and Kevin were downtown Tuesday, August 18, 2026, installing bistro lights over the Parklet … adding a little extra sparkle to a space that has become home to live music, gatherings and plenty of summer fun in downtown Ellsworth.
And the timing couldn’t be better.
The lights will be ready to shine for the next Downtown Summer Concert Series show this Thursday, August 20, when On The Rocks takes the stage at 7 p.m.
This week’s free concert is sponsored by our friends at The Jackson Laboratory, whose support helps us continue bringing live music to the heart of downtown Ellsworth.
So grab some dinner downtown, bring your family and friends, and come see the Parklet under its new lights!
