A family tradition going back generations in families throughout Maine, the Fryeburg Fair is the largest fair in Maine. There’s a little something for everyone. Boasting agricultural barns and exhibits on everything from old tools to homemade honeycomb.

Let’s not forget a child’s favorite part: the rides. There’s those for the daredevil, the Graviton, and those for people with a calmer stomach, like the Ferris wheel. Plus, you can’t beat fair staples like fried dough and candy apples (both of which I had).

The Fryeburg Fair is an ever changing, old time favorite. Yes, it’s the same basic fair every year, but there’s always new stalls that show up one after another.
