35th Annual Village Fair Comes to Ossining on June 13th

One of the community’s premier events of the year, the 35th annual Ossining Village Fair, presented by the Greater Ossining Chamber of Commerce, will return to Ossining’s historic Main Street on Saturday, June 13, 2015 from 10:00 am – 5:00 pm (rain date: Sunday, June 14th). Highly anticipated by thousands of eager fairgoers who attend each year, the fair reflects the unique character of the Village of Ossining with a wide range of vendors, food, games, rides and live entertainment.

The 35th annual Ossining Village Fair is expected to draw several thousand people with over 200 vendors and a variety of live talent presented on four entertainment stages.

“Last year over 15,000 fairgoers mingled, listened to music, dined, shopped and enjoyed the day in Historic Downtown Ossining,” said Gayle Marchica, President of the Greater Ossining Chamber of Commerce. “We expect the same this year with amazing vendors, diverse cuisine, and live entertainment. Our Village Fair is a celebration of Ossining’s diversity and culture and truly exemplifies the spirit and energy of our local businesses and wonderful community.”

Fairgoers are encouraged to stop by at the Ossining Chamber booth right next to the main stage on Main Street to pick up an entertainment schedule, meet the Directors, and learn about membership, networking, and programming offered.

As part of this year’s fair, the Friends of the Old Croton Aqueduct will offer tours of the Weir Chamber from 10:00 am until 4:00 pm, inviting visitors to descend into the original 1842 brick water tunnel and learn its history. Those interested are asked to meet at the Weir Chamber at the north end of the Double Arch Bridge near the Joseph Caputo Community Center at 95 Broadway.
