Maine Whoopie Pie Festival

The Maine Whoopie Pie Festival is the ultimate celebration of Maine's Official State Treat, bringing together thousands of eager fans, dozens and dozens of exceptional bakers, and tens of thousands of delicious whoopie pies. Held annually at the beautiful Piscataquis Valley Fairgrounds in Dover-Foxcroft, this highly anticipated single-day event stands as the largest one-day event in Piscataquis County. Visitors can immerse themselves in a vibrant festival atmosphere featuring a sprawling vendor marketplace with local artists and crafters, diverse food court options, and thrilling live entertainment. Families will find fun at the dedicated Kid's Zone—complete with bounce houses, pony rides, and magic shows—while competitive spirits can cheer on or participate in the high-energy whoopie pie eating contests.

Beyond the incredible variety of sweet treats, the festival offers an engaging competitive showcase where bakers compete for top honors, including the coveted People's Choice Award and judged categories spanning from Best Traditional to the Most Creative Whoopie Pie Name. Parking is always free and nearby to get you into the Festival and the whoopie pies as quickly as possible. More than just a day of sweet indulgence, the Maine Whoopie Pie Festival serves as a vital community effort, acting as the largest annual fundraiser for the Center Theatre for the Performing Arts and the Piscataquis Chamber of Commerce. Every entrance fee and token spent directly contributes to supporting arts education, cultural programming, and local economic growth across rural Maine communities. Admission is $7 per adult with kids 12 and under free. Advance tickets, VIP parking, and merchandise can be found at www.MaineWhoopiePieFestival.com
