Even though there are dozens of fairs in Maine each year, there are a few that feel more iconic.

The Skowhegan State Fair, the Fryeburg Fair, and Bangor State Fair, for example.

Of course, for many, the most iconic fair in Maine has to be the Windsor Fair.  It is the state's second largest fair, only slightly smaller than Fryeburg Fair, featuring 50 acres of rides, food, games, shows, and exhibits.

The fair also features plenty of free parking and kids under the age of 12 can get into the fair for free.

This year's fair, which runs from August 29th through September 7th, will feature performances by the Black Cat Hell Drivers, Peter Allen & The Hurricane Mountain Band, and country legend Chris Cagle.
