The Taste of Greater Waterville, presented by Mid-Maine Chamber of Commerce, is an annual community event created to celebrate family and friends. Held on the first Wednesday in August since its inception in 1992, thousands of people come to enjoy one of Maine’s most popular outdoor festivities.
As with all traditional family gatherings, food is the core of the Taste. Enjoy food from three different venues;
• “The Bite” – Fast food served from booths throughout the day.
• “A-la-carte” – Full meals served after 5:00 while you’re on the move strolling through downtown.
• "Fine dining" - Presold tickets to a segregated, more relaxed sit-down dining area.
The day long celebration begins with children’s events including an animal petting zoo, face painting, and other fun activities. Downtown Waterville merchants host events and offer special values throughout the day. Several bands entertain guests throughout the evening with a top name band playing from 8-11 in the popular beer garden.
