The Sandwich Fair is returning for its 131st year delighting Sandwich , IL and surrounding areas with live music, carnival rides and vendors. The fair runs from Sept. 5 through Sep 9 at 15730 Pratt Road, Sandwich.
The Fair began as a group of farmers trading livestock in 1880. 144 years later, the fair is an annual knockout, bringing in attendants from across the Northern Illinois region.
This year, country artist Justin Moore is headlining the Sandwich Fair concert, playing songs off his latest record, “Kinda Don’t Care.” Tickets to the Moore performance range from $25 to $35, not including entry to the Fair.
A central component to the Sandwich Fair is the roots of community trade that led to the event’s inception.
To this day, vendors and exhibitors from across the Midwest come together to sell and trade their products, just as they did when the event first began in 1880.
Tickets and information for the Sandwich Fair can be found at www.sandwichfair.com.
