Middlesex County Fair Returns To East Brunswick August 1

EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ — The 2022 edition of the popular Middlesex County fair will be held from Aug. 1 to 7 in East Brunswick.

The Middlesex County Fair will be celebrating 84 years. The fair will see volunteers and local businesses working together to bring the best in agricultural heritage, rides, food, craft vendors, entertainers, bands, and home arts competitions.

Each summer, around 85,000 people attend the fair, the Middlesex County Fair Association said. Founded by the Milltown Grange in 1938, the association is a non-profit organization that derives its funds through the fair.

Since its inception, the fair has only grown in size. "For many area residents, this is the kind of event where young adults, parents, and grandparents have been coming together annually since they were children," association president Alan M. Habiak said in a welcome letter.

"Around 85,000 people join in the festivities each summer, and, thanks to your participation, we are one step closer to bringing even more of our neighbors and friends together."

On opening night, Aug. 1, there will be fireworks. Rain date is Aug. 2. There will also be fireworks on Aug. 7. There will be music, motorcycle stunt shows, magic shows, and more all days of the fair.
