About Guilford Fair
The Guilford Fair is Connecticut's second oldest agricultural fair and a cherished tradition in New Haven County's coastal community. Held on the third full weekend of September at the Guilford Fairgrounds, this three-day fair has served the agricultural community of the Connecticut shoreline for generations.
What to Expect
Livestock shows, horse competitions, pulling contests, carnival rides, agricultural exhibits, craft vendors, fair food, and live entertainment. As one of Connecticut's oldest fairs, it maintains a strong connection to genuine New England agricultural heritage.
Visitor Tips
Gates open Friday evening at 4 PM, making the opening evening a great time for smaller crowds. The fairgrounds are in Guilford along the Connecticut shoreline — a beautiful setting for a late-September fair. Combine with a visit to the Guilford Town Green or the nearby shoreline.
