Concessions & Vendors

We are always looking for vendors that have unique or new ideas for food, products, or services!

Here at Topsfield Fair, we take pride in our nearly 300 vendors and in offering our patrons a wide variety of quality goods, services, demonstrations, and food.

Our hundreds of thousands of annual visitors can expect to find just about something for everyone… wood stoves, leather goods, jewelry, dog treats, novelties, books, toys, tractors and that’s just the beginning! When you get hungry, we offer everything from traditional “fair” food to more restaurant-type fare… apple pie, cinnamon rolls, fried Oreos, and ice cream sundaes… Italian, Greek, Mexican, and Chinese foods, BBQ, and seafood.

While so many patrons like the tradition of the Topsfield Fair, we are also continuously on the look-out for new vendors to bring in new products, services, and foods to keep things fresh and new. After all we are talking about 207 years and counting.

Topsfield Fair always ends on Columbus Day and runs for the 11 days prior. Just ask the many vendors that come back year after year… we are a fabulous way to end your season! For more information on concessions opportunities email Kate O’Brien at kate@topsfieldfair.org
