We look forward to seeing you for the 67th Annual Canterbury Fair on July 26th – “Always the last Saturday in July!” 
Canterbury Fair Provides Fun for the Entire Family An annual volunteer-run celebration of small-town community.
Always the last Saturday in July, this year’s fair is on July 26th from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in Canterbury Center.
This year marks the 67th Year!
True to historic fashion, the fair will once again kickoff with the Woodchuck Classic 5k Road Race and 2K Chipmunk Classic Kids Run. “Don’t forget to sign up!”
The Canterbury Fair will also include your old time favorites. Some of these include children’s games behind the Parish House, a huge What-Not “tag” Sale at the Canterbury Elementary School up the hill, a used book sale, an abundance of live music, an antique vehicles, juried crafts, woodworking demonstrations, more than enough home baked goods to last the rest of your summer months and lunch offerings to satisfy every craving!
New this year! – Food Trucks will be added to our regular goodies! Canterbury knows “variety is the spice of life!” (Don’t forget to purchase the popular home made frappes to wash it 
down.)
Many local organizations lend a hand to make the Fair a success and EVERYONE looks forward to the chicken barbecue! Tickets are available for sale throughout the morning of the fair. A full plate fit for a king. (and queen!)
Music will fill Canterbury Center for most of the day with a number of musicians. There’s a little entertainment for everyone’s taste. Old-time favorites are always offered and new musicians are added to the mix each year. This year will not disappoint. Check out our Fair Schedule to plan when you will tap, twirl, sing, and dance.
How can you go wrong listening while sitting comfortably under the shade of one of Canterbury’s beautiful, big maple trees?
The Canterbury Historical Society uses Fair Day to open their exhibits in the Elkins
Memorial Building. (once the town’s library). Their one-room schoolhouse is also open as a museum for the Fair. Come learn what community members are so proud to be part of.
Parking is available nearby- Free shuttle to and from the Fair. Canterbury Center is closed to vehicular traffic during Fair Hours. Fun and Safe!
Net proceeds from the fair benefit the Canterbury Fund which aids local families in need and supports scholarships for deserving students.
*** PLEASE NOTE: The fair is in a quaint, rural, country village and has very spotty Wi fi access. It would be wise to have cash on hand for purchases. We would hate to have you miss out on a delicious lunch, yummy pastry, artistic craft, or Chicken Bar-B-Q!
