Starting Thursday, the Blue Hill Fair concludes the summer

Get a head start on Labor Day weekend 2024 when the Blue Hill Fair begins this Thursday!

We’re not ready to give up on the season entirely, but as we approach the unofficial end of summer, you can say goodbye in style with five fun-filled days at the Blue Hill Fair, running August 26-September 2.

A Facebook post showed some photos of the booths, including some pretty tasty food trucks. A special shout out to my personal favorite, the delicious MELT truck.

The Blue Hill Fair is a real, down-to-earth country fair. The fair always takes place on Labor Day weekend and offers entertainment, food, attractions and exhibits at its finest.
