Rift Arcade Is Moving From Main Street To Washington Street In Downtown Biddeford

08/13/2026

Steadily making progress✌🏻
Please stop by tomorrow at fringe fest to say hi, play a couple free games, get a very tiny sneaky peek of our new space, and maybe grab a couple of surprises.

Hey Rift Nerds 👾
If you’re walking around Fringe Fest this Friday - we will have our Washington Street doors open for a tiny sneak peek and a couple games set to free play.
Come say hi! We’ve missed you 🖤

We want Fringe to be a welcoming, accessible event for as many people as possible.

A few things to know about accessibility at Fringe:

- Accessible parking is available nearby.

- The festival takes place along Washington Street, with some areas of pavement and street surfaces that may be uneven.

- Seating will be available throughout the festival area for anyone who needs to take a break.

- Service animals are welcome.

- If you have an accessibility question or need an accommodation, please reach out to us before the festival and we'll do our best to help.

- If you need a quieter place to take a break during the festival, please contact us in advance and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

Sensory considerations: Fringe is a lively street festival with amplified music, including some louder electronic performances. One performance will also feature spinning lights/visual effects. If you are sensitive to sound, crowds, or flashing/moving lights, please keep this in mind when planning your visit.

We know accessibility looks different for everyone, and we're always learning. If there's something that would make Fringe more comfortable or accessible for you, please let us know.

🔮 Friday, August 14. 6:00-8:30 PM
📍 Washington Street, Biddeford
✨ Cabinet of Curiosities

Come wander, make, listen, look, eat pie, discover strange things, and be curious with us.

This community support means everything 🫶🏻👾

Just a reminder, this fee is only due every 15 years. But, because relocating was the only way we could survive - we have to pay it again.

$14,800 for a small business in the span of a single year is insane to ask.

The retro-style arcade is in the process of moving from Main Street to Washington Street. Owner Casi Buckman said having to pay several thousand dollars for the 2nd time in about a year would be very difficult.

Don’t be like Chris. 🛑😂

We’re not out of business… we’re just moving. Actually just a few streets down, closer to the center of downtown!

As of today, everything is officially out of Main Street. It’s weird. It’s a relief. It’s bittersweet. But honestly? We’re just so excited for what’s next.

Now we get to the fun part + are starting to build this place into something special.

The kitchen and bar are getting a complete redesign so ordering actually makes sense, we’ll have bar seating, more room to hang out, and we’re expanding the food menu too.

And the games? They already look SO GOOD in this space.

Our Planning Board review is August 18, so until then we’ll be painting, building, cleaning games, fixing games, making things unnecessarily nerdy, and probably surviving on little sleep and too much caffeine.

We’ll keep posting updates and little sneak peeks as we go. We seriously can’t wait to show you all what we’re building.

Thanks for hanging in there with us. 👾💜

P.S. Chris… we’re giving you a pass this time. 😎

Maybe we will reward you with love, appreciation, and extra weirdness 🫶🏻

In downtown Biddeford, Maine, a retro gaming spot recreates that feeling with glowing screens, familiar sound effects, and plenty of classic cabinets waiting to be played.

👾Reminder, while you might see some chaos happening around the arcade today - we are CLOSED and working on our big move.
