About Aroostook County Fair

The Aroostook County Fair in Presque Isle celebrates the County — as Mainers call it — America's largest county east of the Mississippi, where vast potato fields, logging operations, and the Saint John River valley define an agricultural landscape more closely tied to Canada than to southern New England. The fair is a major regional event for this remote agricultural region.

What to Expect

Expect potato and agricultural exhibits, livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, carnival rides, local food vendors, and a well-organized fair that serves as a major social event for communities spread across this enormous county.

Visitor Tips

Presque Isle is the commercial center of the County. Aroostook State Park, the Nylander Museum of natural history, and the International Appalachian Trail reflect the county's remote northern character. The potato harvest in September is one of the most distinctive agricultural spectacles in the eastern United States.
