Chautauqua County Fair

About

Held in Dunkirk each July, the Chautauqua County Fair has been a community fixture for over 140 years. The fair runs six days with midway rides, grandstand events nightly, animal exhibits and shows, live entertainment on the mini stage, and extensive fair food vendors. The fairgrounds operate 9am–11pm throughout the week, with rides opening afternoons/early evenings. Vendor contracts and exhibitor handbooks are available through the fair office — contact them for booth space details and eligibility.
