As the Orono Fair marks its 170th anniversary, it’s more than just an opportunity to celebrate a storied tradition; it’s a chance to reflect on the deep roots of agriculture in our community and the tireless dedication of volunteers who have kept this mainstay alive.
This year’s theme, “Harvesting Tradition, Cultivating Innovation: 170 Years of Agricultural Excellence,” speaks to the rich history we cherish and the future we’re building together.
The Orono Fair has always been more than just a gathering; it’s a symbol of our shared heritage. For 170 years, this fair has been a place where families come together, farmers showcase their best, and the community celebrates its agricultural roots. The fair has evolved with the times, but its heart remains unchanged, anchored in the soil that has sustained generations.
