The Maine Night Market
An evening of feasting, shopping and learning with the makers behind Maine's diverse flavors
Saturday, August 22, 2026 | 5 - 9 PM
The Maine Night Market is a free, annual community celebration at Maine Tasting Center in Wiscasset, bringing together makers, food vendors, and community members for an evening of food, culture, and connection. The market celebrates the incredibly diverse cultural backgrounds of Maine's food makers, a reminder that the flavors of Maine come from all over the world, and that our food community is richer for it.
​
Admission is always free, and keeping it that way matters to us. As a small nonprofit, free community events like the Night Market take significant resources to pull off, and we rely on the generosity of our community to make them possible year after year. If you're able, please consider making a donation in support of Maine Food & Beverage Education Center. Every contribution helps keep events like this free and accessible for everyone. Suggested donation: $5/person. Thank you for being part of it! 💚

PARKING & Accessibility
Onsite parking is free! Thanks to the generosity of our parking sponsor, Norm's Used Cars, event parking will be plentiful and available in the field directly adjacent to our campus. A limited number of accessible spaces are available in the paved lot on our campus - please follow directions from our parking attendants when you arrive.
​
All buildings on our campus are ADA compliant. Paved paths exist between buildings and buildings with stairs also have ramp access. Please note that vendors will be set up on the front lawn, on the grass, in an area that is level but without paved paths. The ShinDaiko performance will take place on the front lawn as well, but will be visible from the deck connected to the Tasting Room.
