September 22, 23, and 24, 2023

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 15,2023.

164th  Belchertown Fair and  Parade theme is “Blue Jeans & Fair Dreams”.   What does that mean to you? To youngsters the fair is fun, rides and fair food. To teenagers it might mean going with a favorite friend or your first kiss. As you get older, it’s an opportunity to connect with family and friends you don’t see as often catching up to favorite music under the social tent. Or maybe you have a dream  to show off your prize winning vegetables  and get a ribbon. Put your thinking caps on and show us what it means to you. There are categories in the Exhibit Hall, Parade and Booth Space. Good luck

Midway is presented by Fiesta Shows. See Midway Tab for ticketing info and helpful info.

THE THEME OF 164th FAIR IS:
“BLUE JEANS AND FAIR DREAMS”

The Belchertown Fair has strong agricultural roots and has been at the center of its social and geographic history.
There are special theme awards in the Parade, vendor booths and Exhibit Hall. It is fun to see how people interpret the theme every year. What does it mean to you? Put your thinking cap on if you are a participant. If you are a visitor, we look forward to showing off the Belchertown Farming Community.
