Cambodian water festival ...
The History of Lowell is closely tied to its location along the Pawtucket Falls of the Merrimack River, from being an important fishing ground for the Pennacook tribe  to providing water power for the factories that formed the basis of the city's economy for a century.  Great place to explore and walk through history!!

Verified traveler

I was born + raised in Lowell. It has changed SO MUCH. Overcrowded, no where to park, difficult to get around residential streets due to people parking cars on both sides of the streets + on the sidewalks. Very sad. Very uncomfortable!

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

It’s trying- growth of the colleges and having the national park are helping it upscale a bit.
