Midnight Madness has become the definitive event for the Town of Houlton, with vendors in Market Square, musical performances, a road race, and the ever popular fireworks over the Gateway Bridge at 9:30.  Over the years the event has become less of a shopping opportunity and more of a street fair which seems to work well for the community.  Crowds number in the thousands.

Arts and Crafts Fair in Monument Park coincides with the Houlton Ag Fair, which gives the community another event to enjoy over the holiday weekend.

The Houlton Agricultural Fair is an agricultural and recreational event held every year over the 4th of July weekend in Houlton, Maine. Our goal is to provide education around Aroostook County's lifeblood - agriculture - through entertainment, showcases and demonstrations.Tickets available at the gates on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
$10 per person and free for children 5 and under.

The 4th of July Parade was happily taken over by the Chamber in 2014 and has become one of our favorites. The parade starts at 10:00 A.M. in the parking lot of the Catholic Church on Main St. and is a mile long loop through Historic Market Square, into Union Square and back up Military St. The last entry leaves the parking lot at the same time the first entry returns making it a true mile long parade!
