About Fairfield County Fair
The Fairfield County Fair in Bethel celebrates the agricultural heritage of Connecticut's most populous county — despite being home to Greenwich, Westport, and Stamford (among the wealthiest communities in America), Fairfield County's inland towns maintain active farming traditions at a fair that connects the county's rural heritage to its affluent suburban present.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, carnival rides, local food vendors, and a community fair drawing from both the farming communities of Fairfield County's interior towns and the broader Southwest Connecticut population.
Visitor Tips
Bethel is one of Fairfield County's quieter inland towns. P.T. Barnum — founder of the circus — was born in Bethel, and the county's remarkable range from wealthy Gold Coast towns to working farms reflects the diversity of Connecticut's landscape and population.
