Dutchess County Fair

Dutchess County Fair

The Dutchess County Fair is held annually in Rhinebeck, New York, usually during the last full week in August. The fair was started in 1845 mainly as an old-fashioned agricultural event in which farmers would come and show off their livestock and crops. Currently, the fair hosts approximately half a million people per year, and is the second largest county Fair in New York State.
