Fryeburg, ME — We’re a few short weeks away from opening the gates on the 173rd Fryeburg Fair. We’ll hope by then, it won’t still be raining!

Here is our full 2023 program of events. Our program continues our traditional events and highlights what’s new. A couple of changes:

We’ve added an Open Youth Horse Show on the first Sunday at 9 a.m. Jenn Coen, our Garden Center Superintendent and her daughter, Chloe, will be running this show. It is open to all competitors age 8-17 and their horses.

Harness racing is now Tuesday through Saturday, a change from previous years. The good news is that the Truck & Big Rig Pulls on our final Sunday will start at 3 p.m.
