Description: A dozen samples of traditional New England-style clam chowders from restaurants around town are served in non-labeled, two-ounce cups. After tasting all entries, attendees vote for their favorite. The chowder receiving the most votes is named the People's Choice Winner and takes home the coveted Chowder Cup. The festivities also feature a beer garden, live music, a soda garden for kids, Joe the Balloon Guy, a raffle with prizes from the participants and special beers. Attendees ages 12 and over must purchase sample trays for $10 to participate in the tasting. This year, all of the money raised will be donated to Portland's Community Transitional School, which provides important educational services to children who are homeless or otherwise at risk of school failure.
