Martha’s Vineyard Live Music is right at home at the island’s largest Fair
“This time each year in our hometown
The county fair comes our way
Where the folks gather round
to be happy and spend their day.”
~ The Beach Boys
Summers on Martha’s Vineyard are a chock-full of fun activities, music and entertainment.
But no MV summer would be complete without an event that has taken place here – rain or shine – for a century and a half. We are talking, of course, about the Agricultural Fair, which this year will be held from August 15 to 18 in its usual location, the fairgrounds in West Tisbury.
As any Fair worthy of its name, this one has plenty of activities for kids and adults alike: rides, games, live music, craft demonstrations, food, shopping, and art show, among other amusements. But since this is, as its name suggests, an agricultural event, there will also be livestock competitions, a dog show, and lots of homegrown produce, flowers, and other goodies.
Let the fun begin!
