Richmond County Fair

Grab the fam and head to Historic Richmond Town, a preserved museum village dating from the late 17th century, for its annual county fair—this year marking 46 years of summer fun. The Richmond County Fair combines classic fairground festivities with a unique touch of Staten Island history, including signature demonstrations of historical trades by costumed interpreters.

Play bingo, try a three-legged race, see aerial shows, be awed by stilt walkers, shop for local crafts, hear from storytellers and lots more. Plus, come hungry for fair fare like empanadas, lobster rolls, rice balls, funnel cakes and zeppoles.  

All the fun's for a good cause, as proceeds support Historic Richmond Town's mission to preserve and share local history.
