FAQs

What's the difference between a Signature and Specialty Event?
  • Signature Events are similar to the events we have held previously as part of the series. A great opportunity for our whole community to gather and enjoy good food and each other’s company! Typically 75 – 250 people. 
  • Specialty Events are smaller-scale dinners that provide a deeper connection to food, farming, and the excellent chefs and producers we have here in Maine. Max 50 people.
What happens if I can’t go to an event? Can I get a refund for my tickets?   

If you are unable to attend an event, you may transfer your tickets to another person and provide us with their name and contact information, or if there is a waitlist for the event, we can refund you and sell the tickets to someone else.

Are the events rain or shine?

Yes, all events will be held rain or shine. That is one of the exciting things about the Smith Center!

Will there be a waitlist for sold out events? When will I find out if I’m granted tickets? 

If an event sells out, there will be the option to join a waitlist. If tickets become available, those on the waitlist will be given the opportunity to purchase them on a first-come, first-served basis. We anticipate more movement with the waitlist this year, so we encourage people to sign up for spots on the waitlist!

Will food partners be able to accommodate my dietary needs?

Our food partners will do their best to provide vegetarian and glutenfree options, but please notify us in advance of any food allergies. 

Join us for our Annual Volunteer Day on Friday, April 17! Visit the Volunteer page (under “Get Involved”) for more information.
