Taste the Harvest returns to Lewiston for local flavor, fall fun

LEWISTON, ME – The LA Metro Chamber is bringing back Taste the Harvest on Wednesday, September 30th, transforming Lisbon Street and Dufresne Plaza in Downtown Lewiston into a celebration of local food, community, and all things fall. Designed to bring the community together while showcasing local businesses, Taste the Harvest offers an affordable, family-friendly evening with something for everyone to enjoy. From 4 to 7 p.m., families and community members can enjoy local flavors, live music, vendors, fall-themed activities, and plenty of opportunities to make memories together. The event is free to attend, and this year’s tasting tickets are available at a new, lower price point, making it easier for guests to sample local dishes while enjoying the festival. The festival will feature hands-on fall activities from ArtVan, live music, local vendors, fire pits, photo opportunities, an AmFund Travel Auction, and candid photography by Ryan Captures Life. Families are encouraged to make an evening of it, with activities and entertainment for all ages throughout the festival. Guests 21 and older can also visit the Beverage Garden, featuring seasonal favorites generously donated by Valley Beverage. Guests looking to taste their way through the festival can choose from 2, 4, or 8 tasting options, with tickets offered at a new lower price point this year. Participating restaurants and businesses will be serving up a variety of dishes throughout the event. This year’s featured participants include The Blue Feather, The Pub at Baxter, Nonesuch River Brewing, Cozy Fox Bakery, 84 Court, Forage Market, KP’s Place, and Mogadishu Market. Taste the Harvest is made possible through the generous support of Central Maine Healthcare, Beverage Garden Sponsor; Maine Family Federal Credit Union, Music Sponsor; and Dirigo Federal Credit Union and Central Maine Federal Credit Union, Friends of Taste the Harvest Sponsors.
