New Portland Lion's Fair

About

Held each September in New Portland, this century-old agricultural fair combines traditional livestock pulls, woodsmen events, and exhibits with newer attractions like mechanical pulls and demolition derby. It merged with the Maine Craft Festival in the 1990s, adding strong craft and food vendor representation. Located on Route 146 in a small town of under 1,000 residents—expect an established crowd of locals and returning visitors who know what they come for.
