Christmas Fairs 2026

Many parishes and schools around the diocese are holding Christmas fairs during the months of November and December.

They are a wonderful opportunity to join with other members of the community, as we prepare for Advent and Christmas, and they are valuable fundraisers that help support many church ministries.

Below you will find a list of fairs around the Diocese of Portland. You are invited to visit any of them.
