Living up to its down-home theme of “A Family Fair Where Farm Meets Fun,” the Yorktown Grange Fair is a destination event that offers a colorful outdoor tapestry of carnival rides, midway games, live music on stage, and a variety of food and beverage for sale. At its core, the Grange Fair celebrates Hudson Valley’s agricultural heritage with livestock, produce, and flower exhibits, as well as other competitions, awarding numerous prizes in nine categories.

Because the Yorktown Grange Fair is one-of-a-kind, the three-day, throwback celebration of the Hudson Valley’s deep roots in farm culture continues to hold a special place in local lore as Westchester County’s only authentic agricultural and country fair.

The 2017 Yorktown Grange Fair is open 4-11 p.m., Friday, Sept. 8; 10 a.m.-11 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 9; and 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Sunday, Sept 10.

Ticket prices are as follows: General admission -- $6 in advance, $8 at gate; adults 62 and over, children 11 and under, and all students with valid school ID -- $4 in advance, $5 at gate; children under 2 -- free. Advance tickets can be purchased until Sept. 1 on the Grange Fair website (see link below under Contact). 

On Friday, Sept. 8, adults 62 and over can enjoy a free meal served from 4-5 p.m., during which time the admission fee for seniors is $2.

Sold separately inside the Fair are tickets for the midway rides, which can be bought per ride, or as all-day wristbands for unlimited rides, which start at $25.

Extra Info    FROM BOVINES TO BEER, THERE'S FUN FOR EVERYONE The Grange Fair is a rare opportunity for people of all ages to admire close-up in the livestock area various breeds of cows, horses, goats, and sheep. The perennially popular livestock shows, on Saturday, Sept. 9, and Sunday, Sept. 10, include demonstrations in the Horse Ring of oxen and horse pulling, 4-H riding, and horse showmanship. In the Upper Ring, fairgoers can marvel at cow, goat, and sheep showmanship, as well as a costume class animal parade with all three of those species. A schedule of the livestock events is on the Yorktown Grange Fair website (YorktownGrangeFair.org), and will be posted each day in the livestock corral. In a pointed departure from past practice, for the first time at the Yorktown Grange Fair, beer will be on tap, in a carefully controlled setting. Roscoe Beer Company, which was awarded “Craft Beer of the Year” by Taste N.Y., will sell pint containers that can be consumed only within designated areas of the fairgrounds. Those who purchase beer will be required to show ID on request, proving they are at least 21 years old.
