Middlesex County Fair

The Middlesex County Fair Association today announced the full schedule for the 2012 Middlesex County Fair, to be held at the Middlesex County Fairgrounds in East Brunswick.

The fair, now in its 74th year, will showcase the county’s agricultural heritage through live animals and vintage farm equipment while offering a full schedule of rides, food, craft vendors, entertainers, live music, 4-H events, and home arts competitions. The fair will be open Monday, August 6 through Friday, August 10 from 5 p.m. to 11 pm., Saturday, August 11 from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., and Sunday, August 12 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The tradition of affordable entertainment continues in 2012, with the fair maintaining a $6 fair entry price once again – among the lowest for county fairs in New Jersey – and free parking.

Seniors 65 and over can enjoy a discounted $4 entry fee, and children 3-12 may enter the fair for $1. Children under 3 may enter for free, as well as anyone who donates blood at the Blood Center of New Jersey truck located at the fair throughout the week.
