Dutchess County Fair
For six days in August, the bucolic fairgrounds plays host to nearly half a million patrons. The second largest county fair in NY is the showplace for agriculture in Dutchess County.
The fairgrounds becomes an entertainment destination where big name talent can be enjoyed, 'thrill a minute' excitement can be experienced at one of the finest carnivals in the country, free shows and attractions can be viewed almost constantly from the time you arrive to the time you leave. The tradition of excellence that has been the Dutchess County Fair for over 160 years offers something for everyone and creates memorable moments that will be cherished for a lifetime.
