Connecticut has hosted the Durham Fair, the largest agricultural fair in the state and one of the largest in New England, near-continuously for more than 100 years, with the first taking place in 1916. The long list of past performers includes Blake Shelton, Melissa Etheridge, Pat Benetar and REO Speedwagon.
The fair will feature a multitude of other live entertainment events beyond its Main Stage performances, including dozens of other musical performances, livestock exhibits, tractor and animal pulls, a monster truck rally and a demolition derby. The event will also include numerous kid-oriented events, from magic shows and a balloon animal event to a talent show and a dance party.
General admission tickets, including single-day and multi-day passes, to the upcoming festival can be purchased on the fair’s website at a discounted rate until Sept. 25. Children aged 11 and under can attend the fair at no cost.
