Topsfield Fair Everything You Need!

BRISTOL, ENGLAND – AUGUST 11: The August full moon known as the ‘Sturgeon Moon’ rises behind the ferris wheel at Bristol International Balloon Fiesta at Ashton Court Estate, on August 11, 2022 in Bristol, England. From the event’s small beginning in 1979, the Fiesta has grown into what has become Europe’s largest annual hot air balloon festival. The Bristol International Balloon Fiesta is a charity, run by a committee, and remains free of charge to the public. It attracts over 100 hot-air balloons and 500,000 visitors over the four days of the event. (Photo by Finnbarr Webster/Getty Images)

To me, The Topsfield Fair is the BIG E, east. 

Fall is one of my favorite times of the year. From September 30 to October 10, Topsfield becomes the north shore's epicenter for family fun, food and Ferris wheels.  This fair comes with everything you'd expect from your good ole fashioned home town fair. What do I expect from a good ole fashioned hometown fair? Well, sit back and see if your list matches mine:

Pumpkin weigh-in

Hot dog eating contest

Farm animals with ribbons

Parades

Deep Fried Oreos (Actually, I never had this)

Apple Crisp (THIS, I have had)

Powdered sugar on my clothes

Tractors

Cool cowboy hats you can buy. (One day I will, I will buy one)

Performances from at least one big act I have heard of like Kansas

Tractor pulls

The Flying Wallendas

Clydesdales (A Jaybeau favorite)

And of course, more fair FOOD!

History

According to their website: On February 16, 1818, the first meeting about creating the Essex Agricultural Society to promote Agricultural interest, was held.  Thanks to about 20 “practical farmers” at the Cyrus Cummings Tavern in Topsfield, The Topsfield Fair was born. 

Location/Questions

The fair is located on the beautiful north shore of our great state at 207 Boston St, Topsfield, MA 01983. Of course, if you have never been to the fair, there are many questions you may have., like cost of admission, are the concerts free, parking, ATM access and many, many more.
