York Harvestfest & Kidsfest is scheduled for Saturday, October 17, 2026. This one day event will be held in beautiful York Beach, ME, from 9-4. Free admission for all and Free parking in the York's Wild Kingdom parking area. This event is hosted by the York Region Chamber of Commerce, a 501c6 non-profit organization.

UPDATE: It was mentioned that Harvestfest may move back to York Village at the September 14th York Board of Selectmen's meeting as a possibility that the chamber of commerce would be open to revisit for future years, however there is no plan in place to do so at this time.
The event was moved entirely to the beach 16 years ago due to safety reasons and parking. These issues are still factors.

Please send any suggestions you may have addressing the following event issues to [email protected].
1. How this event can safely be held in the Village while maintaining safe access for emergency vehicles?
2. Where there is free, ample parking for hundreds of cars within walking distance of the Village?
Thank you.
