GM Local Social – Bites, Brews & Business
After the incredible success of the 2025 Greater Madawaska Business Showcase, we are excited to bring the event back in 2026 — with a new name, new fun, and the same great goal: supporting local businesses, building connections, and bringing our community together.
Welcome to the GM Local Social – Bites, Brews & Business, a celebration of the businesses, people, and community spirit that make Greater Madawaska such a special place.
- Saturday, June 20, 2026
- Dan O’Neill Arena - 574 Mill Street Calabogie
This year’s event will feature:
- Local businesses and vendors showcasing their products and services
- Food trucks serving up great eats
- Craft breweries on site (licensed event)
- Live music and entertainment
- Raffles featuring prizes donated by local businesses
- Food Bank on site accepting community donations
Admission is FREE, and businesses can participate as vendors at no cost, making this a truly community-driven event.
Last year we welcomed over 35 businesses, and this year we are looking to grow even more — inviting both returning participants and new businesses to join us for a day of networking, promotion, and community celebration.
This event continues to grow each year, and our long-term vision is to build it into a signature Greater Madawaska experience — where local businesses, food, brews, music, and community come together in one vibrant celebration.
Whether you’re looking to support local businesses, discover new services, enjoy great food and drinks, or simply spend a fun afternoon in the community, the GM Local Social is the place to be.
Mark your calendar and stay tuned as we announce vendors, breweries, live music, and more!
