BRUNSWICK — The Brunswick Downtown Association recently announced that the annual Taste of Brunswick event will take place this Saturday.

According to a news release, this will be the fourth year of the event, which was shifted from June to September this year. The timing was changed to take advantage of the fall harvest bounty.

The culinary experience will offer food, drink and music from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the Mall in downtown Brunswick. Many of the area’s restaurants will showcase their specialties, including:

— 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

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

Pricing for the Taste of Brunswick will remain the same as last year. Advance tickets are $5 and can be purchased online at www.brunswickdowntown.org/TOB or at the College Store, Cool As A Moose, Mid Coast Hunger Prevention, Riley Insurance, or at the Visitor Center in Brunswick Station. Tickets will also be available on the day of the event for $7 at the door (12 and under are free), and food tickets will be available for $1 each.

Attendees will want to hold on to their Taste of Brunswick admission tickets, as they will provide deals and discounts worth more than $20 from event participants.

In addition, the College Store will host a book signing at the event for “Fresh From Maine: Recipes and Stories from the State’s Best Chefs” by Brunswick-based food writer Michael Sanders.

A portion of the proceeds from the book sales and from the Taste of Brunswick event itself will be donated to the Mid Coast Hunger Prevention Program.

Sponsors for this year’s event include Bowdoin College, Chad Little Outdoor Power Equipment, Downeast Energy, Mid Coast Health Services, Pepsi, Performance Foodservice North Center, and The Times Record.
