A MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

 

Welcome to the 2012 Ephrata Fair, “The largest street fair in Pennsylvania”. The Ephrata Fair has been a significant part of local history for 94 years showcasing our many agricultural events and exhibits, as well as all the fun on the Midway.

Agriculture is Pennsylvania’s number one industry, and at the Ephrata Fair, we’re proud to do our part in promoting and preserving our agricultural heritage. The agricultural farming exhibits, prize winning animals, tractor events and other family fun contests known as Tent City is located in the Tom Grater Memorial Park.

The pulse of the Ephrata Fair resides on the Midway with exciting rides, fun games and lots of delicious food. The Main Street midway extends from Lincoln Avenue to Park Avenue and branches out State Street in both directions as well as onto area parking lots and business lots. Main and State Streets are closed to traffic during the week of the fair.

The Ephrata Fair is a time-honored tradition passed down through generations where families and friends can come and re-live their past and renew old friendships. Senior Day and Kiddies’ Day offer discounts during the day. As part of your fair experience, be sure to tour through the various buildings with many exhibits displayed for competition. Don’t miss the Ephrata Fair Parade on Wednesday of fair week, and the Baby Parade on Saturday.

The Ephrata Farmers Day Association Board of Directors would like to thank you for your continued support of the Ephrata Fair. We depend on you as a community, as well as dedicated volunteers, for a fun-filled and successful fair week. If you would like to join our volunteer team, you can call us at 717-733-4451 or email us at fair@ephratafair.org
