Fryeburg Fair - An UnCommon Event in Maine

Fryeburg Fair
Late September, Early October
Where: Fryeburg, ME
What: Since 1851, visitors have gathered in the lovely little town of Fryeburg to see and learn about all kinds of livestock (over 3,000 large animals are present!) while visiting with friends, eating the traditional “fair food”, and enjoying games, races, musical shows and other types of entertainment. It seems this fair doesn’t miss a thing . . . highlighting the activities of those who make their living in agriculture, husbandry, forestry and the lumber industry, operating large equipment, making crafts, growing Christmas Trees, producing dairy products, and many others. There are popular contests where skills are exhibited and winners are rewarded with trophies and the cheers of an appreciative crowd. If you’ve never seen a skillet throw, the fireman’s muster or a sheep dog trial (our personal favorite), this is the place to be in October! If you are visiting from metropolitan areas, you'll need to give up the fast paced life and be ready to sit in the long lines of traffic that meander through the beautiful valleys, beside the fresh mountain streams and past the quaint New England farms. Enjoy it all!
