LEWISTON – Kora Temple Shrine of Lewiston has selected the Topsham Fairgrounds for its Summer Ceremonial to be held Friday through Sunday, June 11 to 13.

The highlight of the event for the public will be a parade from Topsham to Brunswick, stepping off at the fairgrounds at 10 a.m. It will proceed down Elm and Main streets in Topsham, across the Frank Woods Bridge and continue down Maine Street in Brunswick to the mall.
