About Passaic County Fair
The Passaic County Fair in Paterson celebrates one of America's original planned industrial cities — Alexander Hamilton designed Paterson to harness the Great Falls of the Passaic River for manufacturing, creating the nation's first planned industrial city, and the county's agricultural communities in the Ramapo Mountains coexist with this urban industrial heritage.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, carnival rides, local food vendors, and a fair drawing from both the industrial communities of the Passaic River valley and the suburban and farming families of the county's northern reaches.
Visitor Tips
Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park preserves Hamilton's industrial vision at the 77-foot waterfall that powered America's first factories. The Ramapo Mountains in the county's northern reaches provide hiking and the High Point State Park is accessible from Passaic County.
