The festival to celebrate Maine’s famed sweet treat will be held in Dover-Foxcroft this weekend.
The one-day festival has moved locations this year, and will be held at the Piscataquis Valley Fairgrounds on Saturday. The fairgrounds are located at 77 Fairview Avenue in Dover-Foxcroft.
Because of the change of location, attendees will have more options for parking, and will not have to rely on shuttle buses to get to the festival.
Fair organizers have also made “fast passes” available to purchase before arriving at the fair to help avoid lines at the entrance gates. Fast passes can be purchased online.
Attendees will also be able to purchase tokens online that will be exchangeable for food samples.
“At this point we have 32 bakers signed up to attend the festival,” said Patrick Myers, who is the executive director of the Center Theatre and one of the event organizers. “That’s nine more than last year, which was also a record-breaking year.”
Funds from the event will go to support the Center Theatre and the Piscataquis Chamber of Commerce. For inquiries, contact 207-564-8943.
