While there is a lot to love about our Maine fairs, one of the best things is that the bigger fairs often attract some really well known musical artists and bands.

Some of these are rock and pop acts, but most are country stars.  For example, in recent years, we have seen Chase Matthew, Jameson Rodgers, Clint Black, Cam, Cassadee Pope, and the legendary Charlie Daniels.

It looks like 2026 is shaping up to be another epic year for concerts at our Maine fairs.  We have previously had the pleasure of announcing Chris Cagle at the Windsor Fair, and both the Plain White Ts & Recycled Percussion at the Fryeburg Fair.

Now, we are hearing about another major artist coming to the Fryeburg Fair.

 

 

Craig Morgan at the Fryeburg Fair in 2026

According to a post on the Fryeburg Fair Facebook page, Craig Morgan will perform at this year's Fryeburg Fair.  The country star, best known for his song "International Harvester", will take the stage at the fair on Wednesday, October 7th at 8 PM.

Craig Morgan is a country music star, author, actor, and Army veteran with more than 2.5 billion career streams and over 25 Billboard-charting songs. Known for hits like Redneck Yacht Club, Almost Home, and That’s What I Love About Sunday, he has been a staple in country music for more than 20 years. His latest releases, “Blanket of Stars” and American Soundtrack, continue his blend of faith and patriotism. A Grand Ole Opry member since 2008, Morgan also served 17 years in the Army and Army Reserve, re-enlisting in 2023 as a Chief Warrant Officer 2.

This year's fair runs from Sunday, October 4th through Sunday, October 11th.  Get more details HERE
