There's still time to get lost in the corn mazes! 🌽🎃🍁

Why not head over to Treworgy Family Orchard this weekend for a night maze.

Treworgy Family Orchards

UPDATE ON NIGHT MAZE AND WEATHER...

The farm will be open rain or shine this weekend, but the night maze is weather dependent. Right now the weather for Friday night looks good, but unfortunately the forecast for Saturday is still mixed. We've seen some weather models that show solid rain ☔️ and others that predict a break in the showers 🌥️ Right now we are hoping it will clear up and will make the final call Saturday morning around 9am. If the forecast shows rain we will cancel, if there's just scattered showers we will keep going.

If you have already booked tickets for Saturday and can't handle the uncertainty and want to request a refund and rebook for Friday night or next weekend we will honor that request. Simply send an email to [email protected] with subject line "REFUND [full name of purchaser and order number]" you must include either a screenshot of your purchase in the body of the email showing name and order number or write your name and order number in the subject line. We will process all refunds as soon as we can and you will be responsible for rebooking for another night.

IF we cancel on Saturday, anyone who purchased a ticket for Saturday October 21st will be automatically refunded. Sorry for the inconvenience, but we don't control the weather. If we did it wouldn't have rained nearly so much this year 😀

Harvest on the Harbor - October 25-28

Wednesday, October 25, 2023, 5:30 to 7:30 PM: Harvest on the Harbor starts with TOAST! ...and that's just the beginning!

Harvest on the Harbor started in 2007 to create awareness of Portland, Maine’s expanding restaurant and hospitality scene. Over the years, Portland, Maine (AKA Oyster Town!) has been named The Foodiest Small Town in America and the Restaurant City of the Year, with its chefs, brewers, and distillers earning medals from prestigious awards like James Beard, Good Food Foundation, World Beer Cup, and American Distilling Institute. Maine’s culinary scene has been at a gastronomic high tide for many years!

Join the festivities from Thursday to Saturday, October 26-28, for our Feature Events at O’Maine Studios. More events and details will be added, and this website will be continually updated leading up to the event, so check back often and share Harvest on the Harbor with your food- and drink-minded friends.

Harvest on the Harbor

Tomorrow night we'll open our doors to welcome people from California, Texas, Virginia, Minnesota, Maryland, New Jersey and of course, Maine! We can't wait to say hello to all of you! Tickets are currently still available for TOAST, just hop on to our website to reserve your spot
