The Ferris wheel, the midway, the giant pumpkins – fall in New England wouldn’t be the same without the Topsfield Fair. We’re excited to once again partner with this beloved tradition, running October 3-13, 2025.
This year’s weather looks tailor-made for the Fair: dry, sunny days in the 70s and 80s to start, shifting to crisp 60s for the second half. Danielle’s Topsfield Fair Opening Weekend forecast, pictured above and in today’s Tuesday Insights video forecast, looks absolutely incredible! Whether you’re coming for the food, the rides, or the competitions, the conditions should be perfect.
🎡 What’s happening at the Fair?
Each day brings something new:
The All New England Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off (Oct 3)
The Hot Dog Eating Contest (Oct 4)
Horse and Oxen Pulling Competitions throughout the first week
The Topsfield Fair Parade
National acts like Sammy Kershaw (Oct 9) and Frankie Avalon (Oct 10)
Family favorites like the Paul Bunyan Lumberjack Show (Oct 11–12)
