Starting Thursday, The Blue Hill Fair Wraps Up The Summer

Get a head start on Labor Day Weekend 2024 when the Blue Hill Fair kicks off this Thursday.

We aren't ready to let go of the season just yet, but as we approach the unofficial end of summer, you can say goodbye in style with five fun-filled days at the Blue Hill Fair, which runs from August 26th to September 2nd.

A Facebook post highlighted photos of the vendors setting up, including some pretty yummy food trucks. A special shoutout to my personal favorite, the cheesy good MELT truck.

The Blue Hill Fair is a true down-to-earth country fair. Always scheduled around Labor Day weekend, the fair boasts some of the finest entertainment, food, attractions, and exhibits.
