Parades

Don’t miss one of our Topsfield Fair On-Grounds parades!

We have three weekday parades that take place through the fairgrounds at 5:00 PM on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. These fun parades include distribution of mardi gras beads, T-shirts, and beach balls. The parades have become very popular with our fair patrons.

Grange & Museum

The Grange Building, circa 1922, houses the exhibits of Essex County Granges and the Topsfield Fair Farm Museum. The building itself is a well preserved example of post & beam construction.

The Grange, a fraternal organization founded in 1867, has been a participant in the Topsfield Fair since the turn of the twentieth century. An annual independently judged competition is held among participating Granges whose displays must adhere to published guidelines. Statewide Junior Grange contest displays are also exhibited.

The Farm Museum displays artifacts, photos and a brief history from area farms. Most nights the committee provides entertainment on its small indoor stage. A permanent, functioning Model Train Exhibit brings delight to fairgoers of all ages. This is also home to the Farm Photography Contest and the Fire Prevention Division.

The Grange Museum also serves as the home of the 4-H Department, as well as their numerous competitions, displays, and exhibits, including the Farm Photography Contest.

Christmas Tree Exhibit

The Topsfield Fair Christmas Tree exhibit is on display in the New Meadows Demonstration Area. This competition is sanctioned by the Essex County Tree Farmers and the Massachusetts Christmas Tree Association for the promotion of high quality, locally grown, natural Christmas Trees.

Stop over and just out the amazing display and you can purchase a sampling of your own to grow at home!
