History:
The Hamburg Fair has been a tradition in Lyme since 1897. For over 120 years, the fair has brought together agricultural communities in the share to share its heritage, nostalgia, and fun-filled experiences that generations have enjoyed. The fair reflects so much of what makes this a vital community that cares about its friends and neighbors and will do so for future generations.
During its history, the Hamburg Fairgrounds stood empty only six times: four years during World War II and for two years during the recent Coronavirus pandemic. In 2022, the fair returned with improved experiences for its fairgoers, which included more family-oriented activities.
While keeping some of the traditional agricultural themes, top-notch musical entertainment was provided each evening, and more new activities were introduced for Saturday afternoon, such as additional children’s games and music, an RC Car racing track, and a lady’s fry pan toss. There were also expanded food vendor menus and the introduction of Beer and Wine sales on the fairgrounds!
