Inside Wayside: Annual Celebration & FUNdraiser

We are excited to announce that our annual party, Inside Wayside, will be on Thursday, October 2nd from 5:30-8pm!

The event happens right here at our space, and besides lots of great food, drink, and conversation, we have hourly guided tours of Wayside, live music, and a live auction!

As always, fantastic food will be prepared by our friends and supporters, the Casco Bay Chapter of the American Chefs Federation. The dress code is casual (this is an outdoor, tented event) and friends are encouraged to bring friends. We’d love to see you, so buy your tickets now!
