DURHAM, CT — The 101st Durham fair will be held Sept. 23-26, according to the fair's website. The fair was canceled last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The state's largest agricultural fair has been around since 1916 and is run by the Durham Agricultural Fair Association. It is one of the largest fairs in North America and is staffed by unpaid volunteers.

The fair will include live entertainment, rides, and games as well as animal competitions and discovery events on the Corn Stalk Stage. There will also be crafts, exhibits, and food.
