MAX CHEF TO FARM 2019 SCHEDULE IS NOW AVAILABLE TO BOOK TICKETS – NEW EVENTS ADDED FOR THIS SEASON

The Max Restaurant Group is pleased to announce the 2019 Chef to Farm Summer event schedule. For the 12th year in a row, Max Chef to Farm is taking the show on the road and will be hosting a series of dinners and festivals out in the filed, literally. We are dedicated to supporting our local farms and other food and beverage producers, and by bringing the “Max” experience to the farms we get to celebrate all of the hard work and bounty that surrounds us here in Connecticut and Southern New England.

This year we bring back some of the annual favorites, such as the Corn (Maize), BBQ-Bluegrass-Brews, and Tomato dinners, and the ever popular Hoptoberfest. New for season are several dinner events, as well as an added festival theme for Father’s Day. One of the most popular Chef to Farm events is the Lobsterfest, which will be on September 29th, this season, and for Father’s Day we are hosting the Backyard BBQ and Family Fun Day – so that everyone can come out and enjoy a great, relaxing day with dad and the family. Other new events include a Whiskey Dinner with Max Downtown, a Sunflower and Wine Festival in July, and a Chef to Brewery event with Hanging Hills Brewery in Hartford, CT.

We look forward to seeing you throughout the summer and fall season at any of these great events.

Max Downtown is very pleased to announce a month-long benefit to help Journey Home, one of Hartford’s leading advocacy groups working to end homelessness in Ct.  Journey Home is a team of innovative problem solvers who are passionate about ending homelessness in our community.
