It’s The 200th Anniversary Of The Great Schaghticoke Fair
The Schaghticoke Fair will celebrate its 200th year of being a showcase for the best that Rensselaer County residents and agriculture have to offer. Building after building will be bursting with vegetables, fruits, animals, antiques, baked goods and homemade crafts.
The 3rd oldest Fair in New York State takes great pride in being a Family Fair with hands-on participation at its exhibits. Tasting, seeing, hearing and literally feeling agriculture in action is one of the best experiences we can offer.
The Fair runs from Wednesday, August 28 through Labor Day, September 2. Opening day is once again “Dollar Day.” Admission to the fair and rides all day long are just $1. Opening day is also Military Appreciation Day. Veterans and Active Duty personnel are admitted to the fair free of charge, with military ID.
The highlight of this year’s fair for many will be a concert by country music star Trace Adkins on Thursday, August 29, but all the favorites, such as tractor pulls, feature attractions, rides, booths, shows, and much more, are here to enjoy! Oh, and lest we forget, the pig races have returned too.
