MONMOUTH FAIR

The fair offers a classic midway with rides and games, live nightly entertainment, and a range of activities for children. With horse or oxen‑pulling events each day, along with 4‑H showcases and community‑driven exhibits, the fair is both a fun outing and an educational celebration of Maine’s agricultural heritage.
