If you haven't been to the Cummington Fair, it's something you'll want to check out this summer. Billed as "The Biggest and Best Little Fair in the Country," it's a down-home fair in Cummington, Massachusetts, that really gives you that feeling of yesteryear when times were simpler. While the Cummington Fair may be small, it has a big schedule of events, and that's a big understatement.

When Will the Cummington Fair be Taking Place in 2025? 

The fair offers rides for the kids, live music, truck pulls, horses, kids' corner, classic cars, and the list never seems to end. Plus, the Cummington Fair is loaded with food options. The 157th Annual Cummington Fair takes place this year from August 21-24 at 97 Fairgrounds Road in Cummington.

The Cummington Fair Has Something for Everyone

My daughter, who's now five, went to the Cummington Fair with my family over the past couple of years, and it's been difficult trying to get her to leave. She particularly enjoys the kids' corner and the big bubbles that are offered at the fair. For the rest of us, we enjoy the Western Massachusetts Lumberjack Championship along with live music and ventriloquist performances, to name a few.
