Festival Field

Scenic Waterfront Location

Right next to the Merrimack River in Lowell, Massachusetts, Festival Field offers a breath of fresh air with its spacious grounds and beautiful waterfront views. This recreational area is used for both organized events and casual outings.

As you might guess from its alternative name, Regatta Festival Field, this spot is a hub for rowing regattas. The well-kept grounds and clean boulevard along the waterfront create a pleasant atmosphere whether you're participating in activities or simply taking in the scenery.

Facilities and Uses

The heart of the park is its expansive grass field that's ready to transform for whatever the community needs - from pickup sports games to large public gatherings. Its position right beside the Merrimack River makes it meant for water events or just watching rowing teams glide by from the shoreline.

Need to park? You'll come across the main lot on the grass field diagonally across from the boathouse and next to Dunkin Donuts. Just be aware that during regattas and other major events, you'll typically pay around $10 for parking.

Community Events

More than just a pretty spot by the water, Festival Field comes alive year-round hosting an array of community gatherings. From craft fairs showcasing local artisans to family-friendly carnivals with rides and games, there's often something happening here.

The carnival activities that set up shop periodically are especially worth checking out - they offer fun for all ages without breaking the bank. Whether you're planning an event or just looking to enjoy one, the natural beauty and practical amenities of this Lowell site make it worth a visit.
