The 2019 Kimberton Fair Is Almost Here: What To Know

KIMBERTON, PA — The 2019 Kimberton Community Fair is just days away.

The 91st annual event will take place from July 22 to July 27.

A wide range of activities and events will be available for the entire family, ranging from 4-H livestock competitions, baked good contests a baby contest, and Fair Queen competition, to log sawing, rides, arts and crafts exhibits, food, entertainment, and, of course, the famous donuts.

Here's how organizers describe the long-running community event:

"What sets us apart from other local carnivals and festivals (besides our donuts!!) is that we partner with the PA Department of Agriculture to offer contest and display opportunities in the areas of farm products, gardening, baking and canned goods, floral arranging, needlework, crafts and photography, and many more. We encourage you to get involved in our competitive exhibits."

Some highlights: the annual visit from the Phillie Phanatic will take place at 7 p.m. on Thursday, July 25. And on Friday, July 26, fireworks will go off at dusk.

The fair benefits the Kimberton Fire Company. More than $200,000 has been raised since 2019, and $2.9 million over the past 26 years, organizers said.

Midway, the location of rides, games, and food, is open from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from noon to 10 p.m. on Saturday
