Massachusetts has many traditions, from the Boston Red Sox, James Taylor at Tanglewood, and one of the best little fairs in the country.

If you have never been to the Cummington Fair, you're missing out on family fun. The fair takes place over four days each August and includes something for everyone, including animals, amusement rides, demolition derbies, bands, magicians, kids' corners, truck pulls, vendors, crafters, food, and much more.

The fair has been a big success each year, and it has a rich history. The Cummington Fair has been going strong since 1868.
