The 8th Annual Dinner in the Park
Saturday, September 26, 2026 | Coburn Park, Skowhegan

Join us under the twinkle lights in Coburn Park for Skowhegan’s most magical night of the summer! The 8th Annual Dinner in the Park is our biggest fundraiser of the year—a one-of-a-kind outdoor dining experience that celebrates community, connection, and the incredible flavors of Maine’s harvest season.

Here’s what’s in store:

• Cocktail Hour & Appetizers – Sip, savor, and mingle as you browse silent auction treasures and try your luck at wine roulette and raffles.
• Farm-to-Table Dinner – Indulge in a locally sourced, chef-curated menu highlighting the best of our farming community.
• Live Auction – Bid on unforgettable experiences and must-have items—all in support of Skowhegan’s revitalization.
• Dancing Under the Stars – When the clock strikes 8, local favorite The Shack takes the gazebo stage. Get ready to dance the night away!

This is more than just dinner—it’s an unforgettable evening of laughter, music, and community spirit in the heart of Skowhegan.

The event is rain or shine (we have a tent)!
