The Rochester Country Fair Committee is excited to announce this year’s fair is centered around a “Prehistoric” theme. For the past 16 years, families in our local area come together each summer to celebrate our rural and rich farming history with some old-fashioned, unique, and entertaining events. This year’s festivities will take place from August 13 to August 16 on the newly-renovated Fair Grounds located on Pine Street.
Make no bones about it, this year’s fair will feature fun events, such as Tractor Pulling, Woodsman Show Competitions, Pie Eating and Pie Bake Off Contests, dinosaur dig hunt, Pebbles & Bam Bam Contest, and the return of the Buana Iguana Reptile Show. The Fair Committee is also working to bring a Highland Games Exhibition as well as Vyntyge Skynyrd, New England’s Tribute band that captures the musical fire and soul of Lynyrd Skynyrd.
“We’re all excited to continue to bring new and entertaining events to the fair and are incredibly thankful for all of the support we’ve received,” said Julie Koczera, co-chair of the Rochester Country Fair Committee.
Co-Chair David Souza added, “I am looking forward to bringing together the community and offering exciting new events.”

About Rochester Country Fair: The Rochester Country Fair Committee was founded in 1999 by a small group of Rochester residents – Dianne Wood, Julie Koczera, Arthur Westgate, Chris Faustino, Duffy Clapp, Pat Lafleur, Slim Bernier, and John Lafleur – to celebrate a Millennium Celebration. Completely funded by fundraising events and donations, the Rochester Country Fair has since flourished into an annual, family celebration held at the Pine Street Fairgrounds in Rochester, Mass.
