A popular local summer event returns in 2024.
The Westport Fair will be held from JULY 17-21, 2024.
The annual fair is held at 200 Pine Hill Road in Westport.
The regular Westport Fair was canceled in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic. As a result, the Fair held a smaller event in October 2021, before returning to full-scale events in 2022 and 2023.
The fair typically includes a carnival, farm tractor rides, garden tractor rides, horseshoe and corn hole tournaments, food stands, an animal tent, craft stalls, entertainment, a car show, “touch a truck” and the annual chicken barbecue.
