Riverhead Country Fair, A Longtime Tradition, Unfolds Sunday

RIVERHEAD, NY — A beloved and time-honored tradition will take place Sunday as the Riverhead Country Fair unfolds downtown.

The fair, always held on Columbus Day weekend, takes place Sunday, Oct. 9 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Riverhead Country Fair, which has been going strong for 47 years, minus a year for the pandemic and a rainy return last year, was shepherded for decades by Jim and Connie Lull.

The fair celebrates Riverhead's farming roots. The event includes hundreds of vendors, games, agricultural, homemaking, and needlework competitions, food, activities for kids, craft beer, and live entertainment.
