One of the most anticipated moments of the High Peaks Outdoor Heritage Festival is the Maine Moose Permit Lottery Drawing, kicking off at 1:00 PM at the Farmington Fairgrounds. This annual event is a huge draw for outdoor enthusiasts across the state and beyond, as it determines who will receive one of Maine’s coveted moose hunting permits for the 2025 season.

In 2024, the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife issued 4,105 permits, including 2,645 antlered and 1,460 antlerless permits.
