“The Guilford Fair gives our local and backyard farmers (young and old) a chance to showcase their fresh crops and livestock with the pride that went into growing or raising them,” John Hammarlund, President of the Guilford Agricultural Society said in a statement.

There will be free parking at a remote parking lot accessible by a free shuttle bus service. On-site parking will be $5.
