Midway rides, farm animals and agricultural competitions, food stalls and live entertainment

October 2 to 12, 2026, at the Topsfield Fairgrounds in Topsfield, Massachusetts — eleven days across two weekends.
Yes — alongside the midway there are farm animals, poultry and livestock barns and agricultural displays, which tend to hold younger children’s attention better than the rides alone.
Topsfield is roughly 40 minutes north of Boston by car.
Admission and ride wristband prices are set by the fair each year. Check topsfieldfair.org before you travel — we do not publish prices we cannot verify.
