The Maine Cheese Festival is also proud to showcase a talented lineup of Maine artisans, makers, and specialty food producers whose work complements the spirit of the Festival. From handcrafted foods and small-batch beverages to textiles, kitchen goods, woodcrafts, and culinary-inspired artisan products, these vendors help bring the full flavor and creativity of Maine to life. Together, they create a vibrant marketplace that celebrates craftsmanship, local talent, and the joy of gathering around great food and handmade goods.
The Maine Cheese Festival Planning Committee is committed to curating a thoughtful and diverse vendor lineup that celebrates the very best of Maine. Whenever possible, we prioritize vendors who source and use Maine-grown and Maine-made ingredients, products, and materials.
