About Piscataquis County Fair

The Piscataquis County Fair in Dover-Foxcroft celebrates Maine's most remote inland county — Piscataquis is the second-largest county in Maine and one of the most sparsely populated counties in the eastern United States, where Moosehead Lake, the Appalachian Trail, and vast logging forests define a landscape of extraordinary wilderness.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, logging competitions, local food vendors, and the close-knit community spirit of a county where outdoor heritage and small-scale farming sustain isolated communities.

Visitor Tips

Moosehead Lake — the largest lake in Maine and the largest mountain lake in the eastern United States — is in Piscataquis County. Greenville is the gateway to float plane adventures into the Maine wilderness, and Baxter State Park's Mount Katahdin (the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail) is accessible from the county.
