Maine Fairs & Festivals is published by Kinetic Gain LLC in Boston, Massachusetts.
What this is
A reference list of Maine fairs, festivals, and agricultural events. It has no affiliation with any fair committee, grange, or state office, and it does not sell admission. Ticketing happens on the organizers' own sites.
The Maine listings in numbers
- 70 listings across 16 counties. Cumberland County has the most (8).
- September has the most events (14), followed by July (13), not counting the 20 events whose 2026 dates could not be confirmed.
- Most common categories: Family (61), Agricultural (29), Cultural (22). A listing can carry more than one.
- 8 listings give a founding year. The earliest is Skowhegan State Fair, established 1818.
- 2 listings are tagged free admission.
- 26 of 70 listings carry a dated, recorded direct check. The other 44 are listed from a published source with no direct check recorded.
Where the information comes from
Each Maine listing starts from a page someone published: an event's own website, a government page, or another published source. The record keeps the address of that source page and a provenance date. That date is a check date only when the record carries a direct check (see below). Dates can change, so confirm with the organizer before you travel.
How listings are checked
A check mark on a fair page appears only when the record carries a dated direct check. Everything else is labeled as listed from a published source. The methodology page explains the checks, how ended events are handled, and how guides are written.
