Frequently Asked Questions
May I bring my dog to the fair?
For the safety of all fairgoers, no pets of any kind are allowed on the midway, with the exception of service animals. On a limited basis, pets of participants are allowed in the Agricultural Area (for the 4-H Dog Show, for example). For their safety, animals left in vehicles will be reported.
Are camping spaces available at the fair?
Not for the general public. We have a limited number of camping sites on our grounds. These sites are available to Agricultural participants first, because they have animals to tend to. Leftover spaces go to vendors and attractions, so there are no spaces left for the general public to rent. There are many camping areas within a short drive to the Fair, which can be found on The Maine Camping Guide.
I would like to be a performer at your fair. How can I get hired?
Performers who wish to be hired for the next Bangor State Fair should send information to: Bangor State Fair, 100 Dutton Street, Bangor, ME 04401
Audio or visual samples of your work (videos, DVD's, cassettes or CD's) are helpful. Include pricing information for a ten day fair. All information is kept on file from year to year. We start booking attractions in the Fall for the following year.
Are Premium Books available this year?
Due to the rising cost of printing and mailing these books, the Bangor State Fair has now created an electronic premium book on this website. Click on "Contests/Premiums" above and you will find PDF files of all competitions. An actual physical book will not be printed. However, if you are not able to download the PDF files on this site, you may request hard copies of certain competitions by calling 207-947-5555 or emailing fair@bangormaine.gov. Be sure to specify which competitions you would like and give your full name and mailing address.
Why do I have to pay to get into the fair?
The Bangor State Fair provides a wide variety of entertainment for fairgoers that is free after paid admisison. This entertainment is paid for by admission proceeds and enhances the fair experience for those who take advantage of it. For more information on these activities, click on "Featured Events & Activities" above or check the "Daily Schedule" page to figure out which day has the events you want to see. Events listed are free with paid admission unless otherwise noted.
