The Fair Committee will work closely to follow all guidelines from the CDC, RI Department of Health and the Town of Richmond to ensure this year’s fair provides a venue consistent with our previous 54 years – one that is safe and fun for the whole family. We cannot wait to share with you our plans for this year’s Fair and look forward to seeing you all in August!

It’s really fantastic to see that the agricultural community is alive and kicking in this state! I really enjoy the tractor pull and the food, the atmosphere is great and it’s a fun time for families.

There’s definitely something for everyone here! My mom and I enjoyed seeing the animals, listening to live music, watching the barrel races, and shopping for fresh fruits, veggies, and jams on our way out. The Del’s Lemonade was also a plus!
