Truro Agricultural Fair 2018
Truro Agricultural Fair 2018 will be held on Sunday September 2nd from 10-3pm.
The Truro Ag Fair showcases the Cape’s history, the foods currently grown and harvested, and connects the health of our local food system to our physical health, environment and future. Step back in time and appreciate all that the Cape has to offer: great food, great community and a gorgeous environment we all can support!
The fair is free and open to the public and includes harvest contests as well as pie-eating, pie-baking and barnyard beauty contests. BYO zucchini racecar for our 24’ long Zucchini 500 racetrack (judging starts at noon)! Fiddlers bands play all day; we offer old-fashioned kids games and art-making tables, turnip and rutabaga bowling and lots, lots more.
Kids’ Events at the Truro Agricultural Fair
Enter our Competitions
Every child who participates in a competition wins a yellow ribbon, but blue ribbons are rare and sought after – and create lifelong memories! You can pre-register your child’s animal, vegetable or pie for the Barnyard Beauty, Harvest or Pie-Baking Contests. The Pie-Eating Contest registration is done the day of the fair – be sure to sign up early! Games and other activities are on a first-come, first-served basis as our volunteers deem best.
