The Maine Needham Festival is a sweet celebration of one of Maine’s most unique confections - the classic chocolate-covered potato candy! Each fall, we gather makers, food producers, and families from across the state to honor this beloved treat and the creative spirit behind it.

Hosted by the Maine Food and Beverage Education Center in partnership with Maine Needham Company, the festival features Needham-making demonstrations, craft and candy vendors, games, food trucks, and plenty of special Needham-inspired treats. It’s a fun, free community event that highlights Maine’s candy-making heritage and supports local producers.

Your donation helps keep this one-of-a-kind festival free and accessible to all. Contributions support event operations, family activities, local vendor participation, and the promotion of small Maine food businesses.

Thank you for helping us celebrate Maine’s sweetest traditions, and for keeping this joyful community event going strong!
