What this is
A reference list of Connecticut fairs, festivals, and farm events. It has no affiliation with any fair committee, town recreation office, or state tourism board, and it does not sell admission.

- Most common categories: Family (67), Agricultural (39), Seasonal (34). A listing can carry more than one.
- Earliest founding year on a listing: Brooklyn Fair, 1809.
- 37 listings are tagged free admission.
- 39 of 72 listings carry a dated, recorded direct check. 4 more have a recorded check that did not confirm the date, and 29 are listed from a published source with no direct check recorded.
Where the information comes from
Each Connecticut listing starts from something the organizer or a town published: a fair's own website, a town page, or a direct reply from the people running it. The record keeps the address of that source page and a provenance date. That date is a check date only when the record carries a direct check (see below). Check dates, hours, and prices with the organizer before you go.
How listings are checked
A check mark on a fair page appears only when the record carries a dated direct check. Everything else is labeled as listed from a published source. The methodology page explains the checks, how ended events are handled, and how guides are written.
