LEWISTON — Lay members of the Dominican Order and the Knights of Columbus from the Lewiston-Auburn area plan to hold Sts. Peter and Paul Basilica Tours Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 17 and 18, during the LA Balloon Festival.
Tours will be approximately 30 minutes long and showcase the historical, architectural and artistic legacy of the Basilica. Each tour group will end in the lower church where refreshments will be served, and guests will have the opportunity to view an additional informational powerpoint presentation.
Tours will begin each day at noon and end approximately at 3 p.m., with the last tour on Saturday at 2:30 p.m., and are free. The Basilica is located at 122 Ash St. People should gather at the front staircase on Bartlett Street.
Free van rides to and from the festival will be available. Donations to help cover the costs will be accepted.
