WATERVILLE — The 28th annual Taste of Waterville will take place this year from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 11 at the Head of Falls, Downtown Waterville.
Normally held the first week of August, this year’s event has been moved because of large event gathering restrictions which are expected to be expanded later this fall. Construction on Main Street has also dictated a change in venue to Head of Falls, according ot the Mid Maine Chamber of Commerce, which sponsors the event.
This year’s format will be in keeping with the celebration of Maine’s Bicentennial and will feature cultural foods and demonstrations focused on the ethnic diversity of the area. Taste of Waterville will be an adult-focused, day-long event with a variety of ethnic food options, entertainment, and informative walks, along with live music, beer/wine gardens and brew samples. Timelines for entertainment and activities are under development.
Applications are being accepted for restaurant, bite, booth, food truck and food-related vendor participants. Taste of Waterville encourages participation from both Mid-Maine Chamber members and nonmembers throughout the region. To reserve a spot, contact Cindy@midmainechamber.com.
