Woodstock Fair
The Woodstock Fair, Always Labor Day Weekend, in existence since 1859, continues to complete its mission of highlighting agriculture and bringing entertainment, education, great food and, most of all, fun to the Tri-State area. The Woodstock Fair has changed over the years but agriculture, especially that from Northeastern Connecticut, Southern Worcester County in Massachusetts and Western Rhode Island, continues to be the dominant theme. The cattle and sheep barns, the horse show, goat show and birthing center all provide chances for young and old alike to get up close to farm animals. The Brunn Barn highlights the farming of yesteryear and animal shows on the grounds captivate audiences.
The Woodstock Fair also brings nationally known musical artists as well as a wide variety of regional and local entertainment acts, some of the musical variety, some not. The midway provides amusement rides all four days and the hundreds of vendors sell food from all corners of the globe as well as items not seen in local stores.
The Woodstock Fair is the largest agricultural fair in Connecticut, drawing an average 170,000 people and bringing a large boost to the economy of Northeastern Connecticut every Labor Day weekend.
