One of the last all-volunteer fairs in Maine, the Casco Days event has, since 1935, been a display of pride and generous community spirit. Though humble in size, Casco Days is a bright example of volunteers who devote their time and energy to create an event that feels like a grand fair for three days each year in Casco.
