The Maine Potato Blossom Festival
Fort Fairfield Maine
July 11 – July 19 EDT
✨ Celebrate Summer: The Maine Potato Blossom Festival! ✨
What’s the big deal? 🥔 It’s the premier summertime event in the County! We’re celebrating over 75 years of agricultural heritage and honoring our veterans with a massive 9-day bash. Think live music, dozens of family competitions, a spectacular parade, and enough amazing food to keep you full all week!
Who’s coming? 👨👩👧 Everyone is invited! Whether you’re a local carrying on the tradition or a visitor looking for that classic Maine experience, there is something for every age. From kiddos playing games to fans of live entertainment, this is the ultimate community reunion.
Where is the fun? 📍 We’re taking over Fort Fairfield! We’ve been the proud host of this legendary festival since 1947, and there’s no better place to be when the region is in full bloom.
When do we start? 🗓️ Clear your schedule for July 11–19, 2026. We gather every year in mid-July right when the potato blossoms are at their peak, it’s the most beautiful time to see the County in action!
Why should you be there? 🌸 Because it’s one of the oldest and most established festivals in Maine for a reason! It’s all about creating lasting memories, cheering on competitors, and celebrating the roots that make our community so special.
Pro-tip: Since this is one of our biggest years yet, make sure to grab your spot along the parade route early! 🚜🎶
