All the fun of the fair without worrying about parking!
Since the first fair held here in 1888, the fairgrounds has provided the perfect showplace for agricultural exhibits and commercial venues. The 185 acres of well-manicured park-like settings, the charming buildings, and the friendly atmosphere improve with age.
Every year in September, starting on the Wednesday after Labor Day, the fairgrounds come alive for five days, with carnival rides, mouth-watering fair foods, and vendors from all over the Midwest. Exhibitors from near and far show the fruits of their labor. Free entertainment and attractions—along with nationally acclaimed acts—prove to be thrilling for all ages.
Trip includes admission to fair and transportation. Space is limited: bataviaparks.info/sandwichfair
