The Bangor State Fair returns July 30 through August 8, bringing 10 days of rides, fair food, live entertainment, animals, and those classic summer memories you only get once a year. What You Need to Know For This Year's Bangor State FairHeld at the Cross Insurance Center and Bass Park, the Bangor State Fair is the kind of place where you can spend the day screaming on rides, wandering through exhibits, watching agricultural events, and somehow convincing yourself that fried dough counts as dinner.

Kids can meet farm animals, watch competitions, and enjoy classic fair fun while parents take in the music, food, and exhibits, making it an easy all-day outing for all ages. July 30-August 8, the countdown to fair food, flashing lights, and summer fun is officially on!
