Agriculture Shined in 2026!
Our farmers, youth exhibitors, and livestock families made 2026 extraordinary. The barns were buzzing all week long, and your support kept Maine agriculture front and center. We can’t wait to build on that momentum next year.

Congratulations to the final winner of Fair week! moonie.b found Jeffy tucked away in the Outdoorsman’s building and is taking home bragging rights as we conclude this year!

With the gates now closed, little Jeffy is headed home with the Fair Secretary for a well-deserved winters rest after a very busy week of adventures and making fairgoers smile! He will be back next year, ready for mischief and more Fair Fun!

Thanks to everyone who played along - this new tradition is sure to be a favorite!

🎡 Thank You, Cumberland Fair Family!

What a week — sunshine, smiles, and yes, even a few rainy days — and you showed up with the same heart and enthusiasm through it all. Thank you to our volunteers, farmers, vendors, exhibitors, performers, sponsors, and every visitor who made this year’s Fair unforgettable.

Your support, your patience, and your love for Maine’s agricultural traditions kept the fairgrounds buzzing no matter what the weather threw at us. Because of you, the barns stayed lively, the midway kept moving, and the spirit of community never dimmed.

Your energy, your support, and your smiles are what keep this Fair thriving year after year. We’re grateful for every barn visit, every ride, every shared meal, and every moment of community you helped create.

Here’s to another incredible Cumberland Fair in the books.

See you in 2027! 🌧️➡️🌞🐄🌾

🔍 Where's Little Jeffy?

It’s the final day of the fair and Little Jeffy is curious about life outside the farm and fair. Could he survive in the great outdoors? He’s going to consult the professionals before he makes any decisions to fly the coop.

Track him down where you might cast a line, set a trap, or get up close with some wildlife 🦌🦝

📸 Find Little Jeffy, snap a photo, tag us, and use for your chance to win a pair of passes to the 2027 Cumberland Fair! Make sure to make your post public so we can see it!
