The Bolton Fair arrives August 12-14, 2022

By Emily Cabrera / The Bolton Fair August 8, 2022

The 139th Bolton Fair will be held on August 12 - 14, 2022 with a midway preview on August 11.

The Bolton Fair is a small town, agricultural fair that has been around for over 130 years. In 1874 when the Fair first began, the animal shows and agricultural exhibits were the heart of the Fair and still are to this day. There's also great food and entertainment, crafts, commercial exhibits, farmers market, rides, lots of demonstrations, and a place just for kids. Now, as in the beginning, the Bolton Fair is run entirely by volunteers and typically draws around 30,000 people.

The committee that puts on the Bolton Fair includes more than 100 volunteers who help to run animal shows, set up exhibits, prepare the grounds and maintain equipment, plan and organize exhibits and entertainment, publicize events, arrange parking, take tickets, check-in vendors, and clean up when it's all over!
