In early September close to 100 trucks roll into Old Orchard Beach for a giant truck meet. Truck lovers of all ages will thrill as they watch the trucks drive from the Town Square up East Grand Avenue and West Grand Avenue to First Street, where the meet takes place. At many local fairs throughout Maine you'll find midway attractions such as this one, as well as presentations of livestock, harness racing, pig scrambles and entertainment. More that 150 artists display and sell their works at this outdoor street fair on a Sunday in mid-September. Art for Art's Sake Newagen Seaside Inn, Maine Hwy.

Held in middle to late September, the event draws owners of classic cars and trucks from New England and beyond.
