The Martha’s Vineyard Agricultural Society Livestock Show & Fair has grown into a four day island institution. From humble origins as a single day exhibition showcasing livestock and the enterprise of everyday life, the Fair has grown into an Island institution. The token final hurrah of summer, it is the place where islanders of all ages gather to meet—and eat—in the heat. The 161st Fair takes place this year August 17 – 20, and the theme is Grow it, Sew it, Show it!! For details on exhibiting, visit https://marthasvineyardagriculturalsociety.org/the-fair
