BRUNSWICK — Brunswick Downtown Association’s annual Taste of Brunswick will take place on Saturday, Sept.15. This will be the fourth year of the event, which was shifted from June to September this year. The timing was changed to better take advantage of the fall harvest bounty.

Many of the area’s finest restaurants will showcase their specialties, like Big Top Deli, Bombay Mahal, The Brunswick Inn, Byrne’s Irish Pub, Cook’s Lobster House, Frontier, The Gelato Fiasco, The Great Impasta, Lion’s Pride, No. 10 Water, Sista’s BBQ, Tao, The Tavern at Brunswick Station, Trattoria Athena, among many others.

There will be a beer tent sponsored by Byrne’s Irish Pub and music performances by local Maine bands Hey Buddy, Ear Candy, Cinnamon, and The Music Center Ensemble.
