If you've never been to Harvest on the Harbor, now is your chance to make up for lost time.

Harvest on the Harbor started back in 2007 to let everyone know just how awesome Portland's food scene really is. I mean, Portland has been named The Foodiest Small Town in America and Restaurant City of the Year. Harvest on the Harbor is your chance to taste a whole bunch of it crammed in three awesome days!

There are lots of ticketed events over those three days - so you can pick and choose what you really want to go to.

In years past, this has been a sit-down meal. Not this year. You get to graze from nine lobster stations and meet the chefs and staff from each competing restaurant. After everything’s been tasted, it is time to vote for the favorite. There will be People’s Choice and Professionally Judged selections. Winners will be announced that night. This, and all events at Harvest on the Harbor are 21+. Your lobster ticket includes all food and drink. Clear out Thursday, October 27 - because you're busy!
