Lewiston has a downtown area that has bounced back in recent years to become a fabulous place for vintage thrift stores, bookstores, markets, specialty shops, boutiques, and other locally owned businesses. Forage Market is one of the most popular places to visit in Lewiston and is an eat-in grocery store that sells specialty foods, craft beer, wine, and offers a diverse menu with rotating selections.

Many Lewiston restaurants offer a variety of foods from steakhouses and seafood to Italian, French, and Asian flavors. Auburn is known for the Auburn River Walk, a 1.2-mile path that allows visitors to traverse the banks of the river and under bridges on the way to the Lewiston Railroad Park where the Great Falls Balloon Festival kicks off annually.
