Maine has a tradition spanning more than 150 years of agricultural fairs, which feature, among many attractions, farm animals, livestock, and agricultural exhibits. Fairs offer fun activities and delicious food for the whole family! Many also host a wide range of tastings, classes, and demonstrations showcasing tasty and fresh products. Our state’s fairs celebrate what makes Maine agriculture unique, along with Real Maine farmers and producers.
