Experience live music, rides, a petting zoo, and more at the Yorktown Grange Fair on September 6, 7, and 8, in Yorktown Heights, Westchester.
At 99 Moseman Road, on the first weekend of September, the annual Yorktown Grange Fair will once again provide a variety of attractions to the people of Westchester and beyond. Since its first year in 1924, the fair has honored the region’s agricultural heritage by providing attractions showcasing aspects of farm life. This includes but is not limited to, Livestock Exhibits, the Tractor Display, the Pie Eating Contest, and much more.
Supervisor of the Fair, Ed Lachterman, stated, “For a century, this fair has been a cornerstone of our community, bringing together families and friends to honor our rich agricultural heritage and the hardworking farmers and artisans who make Yorktown so special.”
As always, live music will be performed all three days of the Yorktown Grange Fair, by acts such as No Options Band, Kurt Gallagher, The Knuckleheads, House Arrest Band, Annie & the Natural Wonder Band, and The Whiskey’s Edge Band.
Many classic fair events will bring guests the feeling of attending the fair in its inaugural year, way back in 1924. The Mighty Mike Strongman Show, Adam Auslander Stiltwalking, East Coast Pro Wrestling, along with others, will provide fun for all.
A fair wouldn’t be complete without rides, and this year, a full amusement park will be open throughout the day thanks to the Rainbow Amusement Company.
