Thanks to the efforts of the folks at Central Street Farmhouse, the Pocket Park in downtown Bangor is in the midst of restoration and will host events and exhibits during the KahBang festival in August. KahBang Arts has supported the restoration of this space through a donation from its Community Fund and will host art displays in the park as part of the 2012 art festival.
