Harvest on the Harbor, which takes place on the Portland waterfront, is one of Maine’s most popular and premium Food and Wine Festivals. The marquee event of the festival is a lobster cooking demonstration and sampling, prepared by top Maine chefs. This year’s Harvest on the Harbor kicks off on October 20th and the schedule is below.
October 20 – 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm: Sustainable Seafood Soiree. This sit-down, multi-course dining experience shines a light on some of Maine’s most under-loved, under used fish. The cooking is done by a collaboration of chefs, including Steve Corry & Kyle Robinson of Five Fifty-Five along with Andrew Chadwick of Sea Glass Restaurant at Inn by the Sea, Melissa Bouchard of DiMillo’s and Avery Richter of The Black Tie Co. With a chef lineup like that, I’m sure it will be fabulous. Venue: O’Maine Studios Address: 54 Danforth Street Tickets: $150
