Today is the day! Join us at Maine Tasting Center in Wiscasset 10am-3pm for the 4th Annual Maine Needham Festival, a celebration of Maine's iconic potato candy! Visit with candy, confection and craft vendors from across the state, enjoy potato-themed food & drink specials, eat from delicious food trucks, listen to live music by Jud Caswell, and more 🍬
