About Middlesex County Fair

The Middlesex County Fair celebrates Massachusetts' most populous county — Middlesex County contains Cambridge (Harvard and MIT), Lowell (the birthplace of the American Industrial Revolution), and dozens of historic towns from Concord and Lexington to Framingham and Waltham, and the county's farming communities in the western reaches maintain their agricultural fair traditions.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, local food vendors, carnival rides, and a fair drawing from the diverse communities of one of the most historically and culturally significant counties in America.

Visitor Tips

Cambridge's Harvard University and MIT define a center of global intellectual achievement. Concord and Lexington's Revolutionary War sites, the Walden Pond State Reservation, and Lowell National Historical Park reflect the county's extraordinary role in American intellectual, political, and industrial history.
