The Springfield Fair

From The Springfield Fair Website:

The Springfield Fair is an agricultural Maine fair in the heart of the Highlands Region! Since 1850 we have celebrated our colorful traditions over Labor Day Weekend, and we are more than excited to invite you to the 168th Springfield Fair on August 31st through September 3rd!

Enjoy acclaimed musicians performing live music and live animal demonstrations such as animal pulls, horse showing, and fowl judging! The Springfield Fair is known for attracting skilled craftsmen and traditional crafters demonstrating their skills in quilting, weaving, wood carving, and visual arts! Our exhibit halls are packed with area talent and it is often a place that inspires new talent among our younger generations. Cash prizes encourage participants and the opportunity to showcase skills to a captive audience keeps our exhibitors coming back year after year.

We light up the crisp night sky with an adrenaline pumping midway that begs for your attention. Bright lights and classic country fair games set the atmosphere as you enjoy rides appropriate for every member of the family. Distinctive daily live events that you will only find at the Springfield Fair are how we remain so memorable to everyone who strolls through our gates! Pig scrambles, eel racing, mutton busting, and the iron woman competition are just a few of the unique events in our schedule; every year we add something new to spice up the mix.

The Springfield Fair is an award winning agricultural fair that is proud of its reputation as a clean family event that reflects the heritage of our local culture. Woodsman's Day is both a competitive outlet for the skilled men and woman in our area, but also a great educational opportunity to showcase the skills that we have used in this region for generations. We offer several museums on the fairgrounds which showcase many agricultural and woodsman artifacts and even offer our signature rack of penny candy. Come learn something new and take a minute to reflect on this wonderful part of Maine that we have so much pride in!
