Bread lovers from across Maine will gather in Skowhegan on Saturday, July 25, for the annual Maine Artisan Bread Fair, a celebration of handcrafted bread and the traditions that surround it.
Hosted by the Maine Grain Alliance for the past 15 years, the fair has continued to expand, bringing together more than 60 vendors offering fresh-baked breads, locally made foods, and products for home and professional bakers alike.
Visitors can sample wood-fired pizza, sourdough bread, pastries, and a wide variety of Maine-produced specialties. Vendors will also feature items including artisan halvah, maple syrup, jams, butter, cheese, baking books and equipment, kitchen linens, and other locally crafted goods. Professional bakers will be on hand to answer questions, while live demonstrations and music add to the day’s festivities.
The fair will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Skowhegan State Fairgrounds. Admission is $5 for adults, while children and Maine Grain Alliance members are admitted free. Parking is free.
