Fort Fairfield

Fort Fairfield is best known within Maine for hosting the annual Maine Potato Blossom Festival. Set on the Aroostook River in far northern Aroostook County, the town lies close to the New Brunswick border amid one of the state’s principal potato-growing districts. Agriculture has long shaped local life, from the cultivated fields around town to the festival’s parade, food and community events. Its name recalls a frontier fort established here during the 1839 Aroostook War boundary dispute, a reminder of this northern borderland setting.
