WELCOME TO THE 165th
BELCHERTOWN FAIR & PARADE
September 20, 21, and 22, 2024
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
WOW. What a weekend! History tells us it takes a village to raise a child and a community to raise a barn. The Belchertown community raised the fair barn this year. From the new tents to the parade, vendors and fair goers we can’t imagine how it could be better. The lines and smiles at the food vendors told us most people were enjoying their favorite fair food. Every ride and activity was busy. Even the weather was on our side. When other small fairs are closing their doors, we remain fortunate to have this event. From beginning to end it is a true community event. As aways we say if you want to be part of the planning please come join us. See you next year.

During this time of the year the website is in transition as we share this years news and begin planning for next year. Come back often.
We are a community fair that celebrates our agricultural roots as well as our active growing community. We offer a wide variety of family friendly activity through out the weekend. We are proud to be able to continue to say most activities are free. The Fair is coordinated by a town appointed group of volunteers who work with community volunteers, town departments and sponsors to make this the biggest community event of each year. There are approximately 35-38,000 visitors a year who agree with us. Thanks to all those who help make this possible. During the year the website information is updated regularly as we begin planning. The theme for this years fair is currently being determined. The website will be updated as information becomes available. Please check the areas of your interest frequently to see the most current information. Vendor applications will be posted by March 15,2025.
