Marshfield Fair
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Marshfield Fair is the oldest agricultural fair in the United States, taking place at the end of August every year since 1867. The fair is located on the 62 acre Marshfield Fairgrounds in Marshfield, Massachusetts, approximately 30 miles south of Boston in Massachusetts' South Shore region.
The fair features amusement rides, a midway, typical fair food and extensive farm and agriculture exhibits. It is one of the few remaining fairs that still support 4-H shows and competitions.
Regular special events each year include the demolition derby, tractor pulls and concerts by washed-up 80s hair bands.
The 139th Marshfield Fair took place from August 18 to August 27, 2006. Attendance was estimated at 180,000 visitors.
