Hosted by the Maine Forestry Museum
An interactive session for makers and thinkers to collaborate, The Maine Forestry Museum sponsors multiple events in mid-July to celebrate our region’s timber heritage.
This popular two-day event features an Educational Day, a Logging Parade, and a Logging Festival. Educational Day (Free) – July 17, 2026 (8:00 AM – 4:00 PM)
The Educational Day is on July 17. One of the highlights of our Educational Day is the "Working Forest Tour". We visit an actual logging site in the Rangeley area. Learn about the considerations that go into managing the working forests of Maine! (Please note there is an $8.00 fee for this tour and up to 25 people are invited. Contact the museum for reservations).
Other highlights of our Educational Day include the operation of historical equipment like a two-man chainsaw. Or attend a unique historical presentation of logging in the Rangeley region. Plus, we’ll be burying the beans (around 3:00 PM) for the Bean Hole Dinner that will be served on Saturday. Don’t miss this interesting day!
The Logging Parade is on July 18 at 10:00 AM along Rangeley’s Main Street featuring loaded big rig logging trucks, floats, bands, antique cars and much more!

Winners for “Best Loaded Truck”, “Most Appropriate to Logging” (logging industry equipment), and “Best Fitting Parade Theme” for floats and other entries will be chosen. Want to have some fun?
