YORKTOWN HEIGHTS, NY — There will be something for everyone, organizers said, when the upcoming Yorktown Grange Fair gets underway. The entertainment lineup for the 95th annual fair will be full of musicians, puppets, breakdancers, comedians and entertainers.

The only true county fair in Westchester County will be held from Sept. 6 to Sept. 9

Betsy Ackerman, chairwoman of the fair committee and entertainment director, is proud of what they have planned.

“We’ve worked hard to find a wide range of acts and performers for this year’s fair," she said. "We are thrilled with what we have put together to honor our 'Back to the Garden' theme celebrating community unity.”

From the fair organizers:

Head back to the summer of love with the sensational Woodstock tribute band, Back to the Garden 1969. Their name and mission of creating the true Woodstock experience fits perfectly into this year’s fair theme, punctuating the importance of being an active part of the larger world though community involvement. These multi-instrumentalists and singers have been delighting people with the music of the Woodstock era for 10 years. They are a full theatrical event, from costumes and lighting to video and storytelling, BTTG69 creates a true immersive experience.

From flower power to millennial nostalgia, the Grange Fair is proud to host Larger Than Life — the ultimate boy band tribute. This group tours all over the country bringing all your favorite boy band tunes and totally in-sync dance moves to the stage. This year they will be gracing the Grange Fairgrounds with a group harmony that everyone will be able to appreciate.

Rock is well represented at this year’s fair with the groups, Unfunded Mandate and Happy Crabs. Start with a little classic rock from a group made up of Lakeland Central School District employees; Unfunded Mandate has been playing together for more than eight years and all the proceeds from their shows are donated to the Lakeland Education Foundation for school and teacher grants.

If you are in need of a Rock-n-Dance party, then look no farther than the Happy Crabs. This group is dedicated to getting your feet moving and the fun going — you’re gonna love getting happy with these crabs.

Since the Grange Fair is truly a family event, Beth & Scott and Friends will be there with a kid focused show that the littles will love. This husband/wife team has been bringing their brand of fun, education-based, musical magic to schools, camps, libraries and cultural-arts programs for 25 years. They believe that music, movement, and community make the world a better place — they are a true representation of this year’s Grange Fair “Back to the Garden” theme.

Off the main stage and all throughout the fairgrounds, there will be a plethora of entertainment opportunities to explore. Magical Memories will be bringing break-dancers, magicians, puppet shows and comedians to round out this years Grange Fair performers. This year’s slate is designed to bring together the local community, to have fun with a little nostalgia or maybe something new to you.
