About Richmond County Fair

The Richmond County Fair on Staten Island celebrates New York City's least densely populated borough — Staten Island maintains the largest urban forest in New York City at the Staten Island Greenbelt, and the borough's Italian-American and Sri Lankan communities, its working harbor heritage, and its agricultural history at Snug Harbor Cultural Center come together at a fair with distinct outer-borough character.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows at the Staten Island Zoo, community exhibits, local food vendors with Staten Island's exceptional Italian-American food traditions, and a fair drawing from the borough's tight-knit neighborhood communities.

Visitor Tips

Staten Island Ferry — free and offering spectacular Manhattan and harbor views — is one of New York's great free experiences. Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden, the Staten Island Museum, and the National Lighthouse Museum reflect a borough with a distinctive cultural identity apart from Manhattan.
