Every June, Dover-Foxcroft becomes the epicenter of Maine's love affair with whoopie pies at this annual celebration held at the Piscataquis Valley Fairgrounds. The Maine Whoopie Pie Festival draws thousands of visitors eager to taste creative takes on the state's iconic treat, the pillowy cake sandwich with creamy filling that's become synonymous with Maine's culinary identity.

The festival atmosphere combines food, crafts, and entertainment in a way that keeps attendees browsing and buying throughout the day. Bakers come from across the region and beyond to showcase traditional flavors alongside innovative variations, from classic chocolate to maple, pumpkin, blueberry, and beyond. Craft vendors set up alongside food producers, reaching shoppers who are in the mood to support local makers and artisans. The event runs from 10am to 4pm, giving vendors a solid six-hour selling window on what's typically a busy Saturday in mid-June. Beyond the vendor booths, the festival features live music, games, and family activities that keep the fairgrounds lively and encourage longer visits. This blend of shopping, entertainment, and food means your booth gets exposure to a diverse crowd: families with kids looking for treats and crafts, tourists seeking authentic Maine experiences, and food enthusiasts specifically hunting for whoopie pie variations. The Piscataquis Valley Fairgrounds provides a spacious outdoor venue in rural Maine, drawing both locals and visitors traveling through the region.
