This festival is a celebration of the French-Canadian classic, poutine! Restaurants from all over Maine will entice you with their spin on this Québécois treasure.

All attendees have the opportunity to sample poutine (a healthy portion) from our participating restaurants! Our restaurants will also be competing against each other for the “Best Poutine Of The Fest,” and only one will get to raise the Ceinture de Championnat/Championship Belt.

Our inaugural event takes places at the Depot at the Thompson’s Point in Portland, ME!

We will have music, great beer, games, children’s activities and some phenomenal poutine.

Yes, you read that right…our event is kid-friendly. We’ll do our best to keep your kiddos busy with activities. Maybe they’ll pick up some French?

We have also invited several food trucks to supplement your poutine intake.

Proceeds from this event benefit the French language and culture in the state of Maine! We will support language contests and activities statewide!
