FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE
Historically, traffic at the Fair has been
very heavy on Saturdays due to our great
morning parade, afternoon midway and harness racing, and evening livestock events.
If you plan to leave between 3:00 and 8:00
p.m., we recommend you avoid parking on
or near the fairgrounds. During these hours
your exit will be much quicker on foot even
if you walk quite a distance. Call 935-3268
for parking and general information. For
camping info call 935-2912.

Program of Events
A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE
FRYEBURG FAIR
The West Oxford Agricultural Society (presenters of the Fryeburg Fair) was incorporated
on June 3, 1851. Originally nine Maine towns
were included, with six New Hampshire towns
added in 1888.
After moving from town to town for the first
few years, a permanent fair site was purchased
in Fryeburg. After nearly 30 years it moved
to its present location, north of town, with the
purchase of 26 acres for $133. The first fair
was held there in October 1885. During the
next 100 plus years it has expanded to 180
acres and includes 100 permanent buildings,
with over 3,000 camping sites. Currently, about
300,000 attend the fair annually.
