Maine Events in February 2026
The month of February really picks up the pace for Maine winter events! There are multiple snowmobile events, including poker runs, a charity ride, and radar runs, and the CAN-AM Crown International Sled Dog Race happens at the end of the month. There are many WinterFests this month, as well as some fun races, ice fishing derbies, and you can even help harvest ice the old-fashioned way at the Thompson Ice House!
Check back often- I’ll add events as more dates come in! Visit my online Maine Outdoor Events Google Calendar here for more information about each event and a complete list of all events for the year, or click the event’s title to go directly to their website.
