Fryeburg Fair 2025 Closes Out Maine’s Fall Fair Season

Maine’s biggest fall fair is also its last — and it’s worth the drive.

Summer has passed us by, but there are still plenty of things left to do before the cold comes, which provides you a great opportunity to get outside and enjoy it all!

It just wouldn't be summer and fall in the State of Maine without the fair, and it all wraps up for 2025, with one last bash!

The thought of going on rides, listening to live music, playing games, and enjoying a slice of pizza, a lobster roll, or french fries with vinegar on a nice day, is too good to pass up

The 175th Fryeburg Fair is set to take place, this Saturday, September 27th-Ocotber 5th, at 1154 Main Street in Fryeburg. That's 8 big days of fun.

Known as “Maine’s Blue Ribbon Classic” it is the state’s largest agricultural fair.
