Westport Fair makes its return in 2024, here is the schedule of events and what to expect

A popular local summer event is making a return in 2024.

The Westport Fair will be held JULY 17-JULY 21 2024.

The annual fair is held at 200 Pine Hill Road in Westport.

The regular sized Westport Fair had been canceled in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic, prompting the Fair to put together a smaller event in October 2021 before its full-sized triumphant return in 2022 and again in 2023.

The Fair typically features a carnival, farm tractor pulls, garden tractor pulls, horseshoe and corn hole tournaments, food vendors, an animal tent, craft vendors, entertainment, a car show, touch a truck and the annual chicken BBQ.
