Hopewell Harvest Fair Returns Saturday: What To Know Before You Go

HOPEWELL, NJ — The annual Hopewell Harvest Fair returns Saturday, bringing a full day of entertainment, contests and activities to the community.

The 38th annual Hopewell Harvest Fair is scheduled for Saturday from 9:45 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the grounds of Hopewell Elementary School, 35 Princeton Avenue. The rain date is Saturday, Oct. 3.

The fair's organizers describe the event as a day of "fun, family, and entertainment" that brings together thousands of people from the Hopewell Valley.

Visitors can find local bands and entertainment on the Main Stage, along with contests, games and a Kids' Korner.

The annual fair draws thousands of people from across the Hopewell Valley and has been a community tradition for more than 30 years. Its impact also extends beyond the event itself through the Hopewell Harvest Fair Community Grant Program, which distributes small grants to local nonprofit organizations with support from fair sponsors.

To date, organizers say more than $234,000 has been donated to dozens of local nonprofits.

Residents can learn more about the fair on its website or follow organizers on Facebook and Instagram; almanacs are also available at local businesses.
