Get ready for a summer and fall filled with entertaining rides, animals, games, performances, and the smells of fried food filling the air.

Fairs have always been exciting seasonal events in New Hampshire, and some have been beloved community staples for over a century. Whether you're bringing the kids, a significant other, or a group of friends and family members, you're bound to have a great time.

What's your favorite part about fairs? Is it the rides?

How about the animals?

 

Do you like snacking on carnival foods like pizza, hot dogs, ice cream, and cotton candy while walking around? Yes, they're not the healthiest, but come on. You gotta treat yourself sometimes. And besides, warm and soft pretzels are quite enticing, as long as you don't indulge the craving right before going on a spinning ride.
