Blue Hill Fair Is the Maine Party We Need to Keep Summer Going

Get a head start on Labor Day Weekend 2023 when the Blue Hill Fair kicks off on Thursday, Aug. 31.

Make plans to wrap up the summer of 2023 with one of the biggest fairs in Maine.

We aren't ready to let go of the season just yet, but as we approach the unofficial end of summer, you can say goodbye in style with five fun-filled days at the Blue Hill Fair (Aug. 31 to Sept. 4).

A Facebook post highlighted some photos of the vendors setting up, including some pretty yummy food trucks. A special shoutout to my personal favorites, the cheesy good MELT truck.

The Blue Hill Fair is a true down-to-earth country fair. Always scheduled around Labor Day weekend, the fair boasts some of the finest entertainment, food, attractions and exhibits.

Located at at 233 Ellsworth Road in Blue Hill, the fair draws thousands from all over the state to enjoy a fun-filled holiday weekend.

The 2023 schedule has something for everyone:
