flag Fryeburg Fair’s early 2025 start clashed with Cumberland Fair, hurting its attendance and vendors, but both fairs proceeded despite the conflict.

flag The 2025 Fryeburg Fair’s early start sparked tension with the Cumberland Fair, which claims the overlap hurt its peak attendance and vendor revenue. flag Despite objections, Fryeburg proceeded with its new schedule, citing economic needs and common overlapping dates among Maine fairs. flag Over a dozen shared vendors chose Fryeburg, forcing Cumberland to replace them quickly, though officials say they’ve adapted. flag The Maine Department of Agriculture confirmed it lacks authority to block the change without documented harm. flag Both fairs acknowledge the disruption but remain committed to their events, with Cumberland celebrating its 153rd year and featuring traditional exhibits, rides, and agricultural displays.
