FRYEBURG FAIR 2025 - MAINE-EMERGENCIES @ FIRE DEPARTMENT

Описание: Here’s a detailed rundown of Fryeburg Fair (Maine) as of the 2025 season — plus what I found about Senior Citizen Day (Tuesday), tonight’s show (tribute to Elton John & Billy Joel), and what’s happening today / on Tuesday:

About Fryeburg Fair
• The Fryeburg Fair (also called “Maine’s Blue Ribbon Classic”) is Maine’s largest agricultural fair. 
• It began in 1851 and has grown over time. 
• Grounds: ~185 acres, over 100 buildings, and more than 3,000 animals exhibited. 
• The fair hosts livestock (cattle, swine, sheep, goats, rabbits, poultry), draft horses, horse pulling, horticultural & culinary exhibits, craft vendors, demonstration areas, amusement rides, petting zoos, and more. 
• It also includes multiple vendor areas: Commercial Exhibits, Craft Center, Specialty Foods Pavilion, Energy Row, and the Midway (rides, food, games). 
• Fair schedule for 2025: September 27 – October 5 (9 days in 2025, expanded from the usual 8) 
• Hours: The fairgrounds open at 7:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. daily (sometimes later based on crowd). 
• The Exhibition Halls and Farm Museum run 9:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m. 
• Craft demonstrations typically happen 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Senior Citizen Day (Tuesday)
• Senior Citizen’s Day is on Tuesday at Fryeburg Fair. 
• On that day, people aged 65 and older get free admission to the fair (i.e., “gate free”). 
• Important: The free admission is for the fair ticket itself, not parking. 
• Parking on grounds is still charged: $5 for general parking, $10 for premium parking. 

So if you’re a senior (65+), you won’t pay the admission fee on Tuesday, but you’d still pay for parking (unless any special unadvertised waiver is in place, which I found no evidence for).

Tonight’s Show (Tuesday) & Lineup
• Tonight (Tuesday, September 30, 2025) the Night Show at 8:00 p.m. in the Grandstand is Face 2 Face: A Tribute to Elton John & Billy Joel 
• “Face 2 Face” combines tribute artists performing as Elton John and Billy Joel, alternating between piano and vocal performances, recreating a “duo concert” feel. 
• The show runs ~3 hours (though start time is 8 p.m.). 
• Note: All night shows are included in your admission fee (i.e. you don’t pay extra for tonight’s concert if you’re in).
