Taste the Harvest
October 15 @ 4:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Taste the Harvest is a free community street festival in downtown Lewiston that celebrates our local food economy, from farm to table. Lisbon street will be closed to traffic so you can stroll freely under twinkle lights, savor the atmosphere, enjoy the Beer & Wine Garden, browse local vendors, and connect with neighbors and friends.
For those who want to experience even more, a limited number of tickets are available for our exclusive tapas-style dining experience. With a dinner passport in hand, guests can sample multiple courses at their own pace, served at chef-led stations. Each dish is crafted by a collaborative team of local restaurants—including Mother India, Orchid, The Pub at Baxter, DaVinci’s Eatery, Mancini’s Italian Deli, The Blue Feather, and Nutty Nettie’s Cafe—using ingredients sourced directly from area farms and producers. This multi-course, al fresco tasting highlights the very best of the harvest while supporting Maine’s local food economy.
Presented by The City of Lewiston, with support from Central Maine Healthcare, Maine Family Federal Credit Union, and Valley Beverage, Taste the Harvest invites you to:
🔸 Shop a pop-up farmers market & local makers mart
🔸 Bid on the trip of a lifetime with a Amfund Travel Auction
🔸 Enjoy music with Pallo Entertainment
🔸 Snap a keepsake at the Gingersnap Rentals photo booth
🔸 Spot yourself in candid photos by Ryan Captures Life
🔸 Sip seasonal favorites in our 21+ beverage garden
