About Bristol County Fair

The Bristol County Fair in Taunton celebrates southeastern Massachusetts' agricultural and industrial heritage — Taunton was a major silverware and manufacturing center, and the county's cranberry bogs, strawberry farms, and fishing communities in Fall River and New Bedford come together at a fair that honors the working-class traditions of this diverse South Shore county.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, cranberry exhibits, local food vendors, and a fair drawing from the greater Taunton-Fall River-New Bedford area.

Visitor Tips

New Bedford's Whaling National Historical Park commemorates the city's 19th-century role as the whaling capital of the world. Fall River's Battleship Cove (the world's largest naval warship museum) and the Lizzie Borden House reflect the county's complex industrial and cultural heritage.
