There are only a few hours left to say “Meet me at the Fair.” 🎡💛

The final Saturday afternoon is here, but we’re not finished yet.

There’s still time for another walk down the midway. Another stop at your favorite food stand. Another visit through the barns. Another ride, another game, another show… and maybe one last fair treat for the ride home. 😉

If you’ve been putting off that final Fair visit, now’s the time to head our way.

Come spend the afternoon with us and stay into the evening as we enjoy every last bit of the 2026 Skowhegan State Fair.

We’ve had ten wonderful days together, and while we may be nearing the finish line, there’s still plenty of Fair left to enjoy today.

So grab the family, call your friends and come on over.

🎡 We’re here. The Fair is happening. And there’s still time to be part of it.

Let’s fill these final hours with good food, big smiles and a few more memories before we say goodbye for another year. 💛

Come see us — we’re not done yet!

And just like that… we’ve made it to the final day. 💛🎡

Ten days of animals in the barns, lights on the midway, grandstand excitement, fair food, familiar faces, laughter, ribbons, competitions and memories — and somehow, it always goes by much too fast.

Today is the LAST DAY of the 2026 Skowhegan State Fair.

If there’s something you haven’t done yet, today’s the day.

Take one more walk through the barns. Grab your favorite fair food one last time. Ride the Ferris wheel. Catch a show. Play a game. Visit your favorite vendors. Stop and say hello to someone you know.

And if you haven’t made it through the gates yet this year…

You’ve still got one more day. ❤️

Bring the family. Call up a friend. Come for a few hours or stay with us right through the evening. There’s still a whole day of Fair left to enjoy, and we’d love nothing more than to spend it with you.

Because before the lights go out and the gates close on another year, there are still memories left to make.

🎡 LAST DAY — TODAY!
📍 Skowhegan State Fair

Come spend one more day with us.

You can usually tell when it’s Demo Derby night at the Skowhegan State Fair. 😏

As the afternoon rolls along, the excitement starts building. The grandstand starts filling up. The cars are getting ready. And everybody knows what’s coming…

CRASHES. NOISE. DIRT. AND A WHOLE LOT OF FUN. 💥🚗

If you’re headed to the Fair today, stick around and make a night of it. Grab some supper on the midway, enjoy everything happening around the grounds, and then find your way over to the Grandstand for one of our favorite nights of the Fair.

And if you haven’t made it to the Fair yet?

Tonight would be a pretty good night to change that.

There’s nothing quite like watching a Demo Derby with a packed grandstand cheering along as the cars battle it out until the very end.

Bring your family. Bring your friends. Come hungry, come ready to cheer, and come spend your Friday night with us. 🎡

Tonight is about more than ribbons, banners and livestock. 💛

It’s about the young people who have spent countless hours feeding, caring for, working with and learning from their animals throughout the year.

Tonight is the Youth Market Sale at the Skowhegan State Fair, and we’d love to see our community come out and support these hardworking young exhibitors.

For them, raising a market animal is a commitment. It means early mornings, daily chores, responsibility, patience and plenty of hard work — all leading up to moments like tonight.

If you’re a local business, family, friend or Fair supporter, come be part of their big night.

Bid, buy, cheer them on or simply come watch and show these kids that their hard work matters. Every bit of support helps make this experience one they’ll remember long after the Fair is over.

🐄🐖🐑 YOUTH MARKET SALE — TONIGHT - BARN SHOW RING - 6:30 PM

Come support the kids who represent the future of agriculture in our community. 💛

We hope to see a great crowd there tonight!

Good morning from the Skowhegan State Fair! 🎡

We’re getting ready for another day on the grounds, and if you’ve been saying, “We need to get to the Fair before it’s over!” — today sounds like the perfect day to do it.

Come hungry. Take your time walking through the barns. Stop and watch something that catches your eye. Grab that fair food you’ve been thinking about all week. Let the kids have one more ride… and then probably one more after that. 😉

There’s a lot happening around the Fair today, but you don’t need a packed itinerary to have a great time here.

Sometimes the best Fair day is simply showing up and seeing where the day takes you.

Meet up with friends, bring the family, spend a few hours or stay right through the evening. There are sights to see, things to do, plenty to eat and memories still waiting to be made. 💛

We’re getting close to the end of this year’s Fair, so don’t keep saying “maybe tomorrow.”

Come see us TODAY at the Skowhegan State Fair!

The gates are open and we can’t wait to welcome you. 🎠

Maybe you’ve been thinking about coming to the Fair all day…

Consider this your sign. 🎡

There’s still plenty of time to head our way and enjoy an afternoon and evening at the Skowhegan State Fair.

Grab something good to eat. Take a walk through the barns. Let the kids pick their favorite ride. Catch some entertainment. Play a game on the midway. Find a bench for a few minutes and just enjoy watching the Fair go by.

And if you’ve already been here once this week? We think that just means it’s time to come back. 😉

Some of the best Fair memories happen when you don’t have much of a plan at all.

Just show up, wander around, find something that looks fun and see where the evening takes you.

The lights will be coming on, the midway will be buzzing, and we’ve still got lots of Fair fun ahead tonight. 💛

Come spend your evening with us at the Skowhegan State Fair.

There’s just something about a day at the Skowhegan State Fair. 💛

The smell of fair food drifting down the midway. The sounds of the rides and games. A walk through the barns to see the animals. Stopping to watch a show you didn’t even plan on seeing. Running into someone you know. And, of course, deciding you probably do have room for one more fair treat.

Today is a good day to come to the Fair.

Bring the kids. Bring the grandparents. Meet up with friends. Wander for a while, grab something delicious, catch some entertainment, visit the animals and enjoy everything happening around the grounds.

We’ve got another full day ahead of us, and we’d love to spend it with you.

Come make a day of it at the Skowhegan State Fair. 🎡

The Fair is open, the gates are ready, and there’s plenty of fun waiting inside.

See you at the Fair! 💛

Not at the Fair yet? You haven’t missed your chance.

The afternoon is rolling right into an evening full of fair fun. 🎡

Maybe you’re getting out of work.
Maybe the kids have been asking all day.
Maybe you’ve been thinking about fair fries, fried dough or something cold from the midway.
Or maybe you just need an excuse to get out of the house tonight.

Consider this your excuse. 😉

Head to Skowhegan, grab some supper at the Fair, wander the midway, catch some entertainment, visit the animals and exhibits, and make an evening of it.

🏇 Harness Racing tonight at 7 PM
Mutuels open at 6 PM

🇺🇸 And don’t forget — today is Military Appreciation Day, with half-price gate admission with Military ID.

The lights will be coming on, the food will be cooking, and there’s still a whole lot of Wednesday left to enjoy.

Come spend it at the Skowhegan State Fair. 🎠
