Fair Highlights
Typical offerings include 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.
A Closer Look
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.
Planning Your Visit
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.
