Rad Roots Harvest Celebration: Connected Roots Will Weather the Storm

Sep 23, 2026

Lewiston Community Event

Please join us to celebrate the hard work we’ve done collectively to care for, feed, and strengthen our community at the “Rad Roots Harvest Celebration,” Friday, October 2nd, 2:30 pm - 6:30 pm at Gather to Grow, 208 Bates Street, Lewiston, Maine.

The Rad Roots Harvest Celebration will be a moment of radical connection, joy, and nourishment; with healthy roots, good food, and strong connections-we can weather anything. This annual harvest meal and festival will showcase farm fresh food and the work being done to build a sustainable and thriving local food system in Lewiston/ Auburn. The main course is brought to us by Isuken Cooperative, with side dishes provided by local businesses and nonprofits; Gather to Grow Youth Stewards, Food not Bombs, and the Lewiston Auburn Community Market.

Come for the meal, stay for the food tastings, zine making, face painting- kids activities, dj set by Marco Soulo and more! Lewiston Auburn, and Maine in general, has been through a lot in recent years. An antidote to this is gathering and celebrating as a community. Let’s sure-up our connections to one another, send out deep roots, and continue to weather this storm together.

Local and statewide collaborating partners include Gather to Grow, Food Not Bombs, Good Food Council Lewiston Auburn (GFLCA), the Lewiston Auburn Community Market (LACM), Lewiston Farmers’ Market Association (LFMA), Local Food Switchboard (Maine Food Convergence), Maine Community Integration (MCI)

We are so excited to celebrate with the community. Please let us know you are coming here!
