About Taste the Harvest
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. This multi-course, al fresco tasting highlights the very best of the harvest while supporting Maine’s local food economy.
