History

The Hamburg Fair has been a tradition in Lyme since 1897.  For over 120 years, the fair has brought together agricultural communities in the share to share its heritage, nostalgia, and fun-filled experiences that generations have enjoyed.  The fair reflects so much of what makes this a vital community that cares about its friends and neighbors and will do so for future generations.

During its history, the Hamburg Fairgrounds stood empty only six times: four years during World War II and for two years during the recent Coronavirus pandemic. In 2022, the fair returned with improved experiences for its fairgoers, which included more family-oriented activities.

While keeping some of the traditional agricultural themes, top-notch musical entertainment was provided each evening, and more new activities were introduced for Saturday afternoon, such as additional children’s games and music, an RC Car racing track, and a lady’s fry pan toss. There were also expanded food vendor menus and the introduction of Beer and Wine sales on the fairgrounds!

This year, the Hamburg Fair is celebrating its 122nd fair this August 15, 16, and 17th.

MORE FUN, MORE MEMORIES!

There will be even more fun-filled rides, great food and drink, and additional family-oriented activities and contests. Not to be outdone by the Ladies tossing fry pans, you can show off your skills with a Hay Bale Tossing Contest and the Tug of War challenge.

Just as the Hamburg Fair is committed to supporting its community, Fair weekend also supports local organizations with their fund-raising efforts.  We look forward to seeing YOU at this year’s HAMBURG FAIR.
