About Nantucket County Fair

The Nantucket County Fair celebrates the island and county of Nantucket — once the whaling capital of the world, now one of America's most exclusive resort destinations, and the only county in Massachusetts that is also a single incorporated island town. Year-round islanders maintain vegetable growing, fishing, and community traditions honored at the island's agricultural fair.

What to Expect

Expect local produce exhibits, 4-H competitions, artisan food vendors featuring island-grown products and fresh seafood, crafts, and a community fair celebrating the year-round population of this iconic New England island.

Visitor Tips

Nantucket's cobblestone Main Street, historic whaling captain houses, and the Nantucket Historical Association's Whaling Museum reflect an island whose prosperity peaked in the 1840s. The island's moors, beaches, and the distinctive grey-shingled architecture make it one of New England's most atmospheric destinations.
