Promotions and Events
We
coordinate special events and promotions including the Maine Agricultural
Trades Show, Eastern States Exposition, Open Farm Day and Ag day
at the Legislature. These events promote agriculture and serve as
a tool to inform the public about the value and role of agriculture in
society.
The fair coordinator oversees the statutory requirements of agricultural fairs
in Maine. We coordinate licensing, assign dates with each individual fair association,
and evaluate each fair. Our goal is to assure that Maine agriculture is showcased
at all fairs in Maine.
Dates for Maine Agricultural Fairs are set after the beginning
of the new year. Upcoming fair dates appear below. At the end
