We’ve made big changes to improve traffic!

We’ve made big changes to the Fairgrounds to improve traffic. Starting 2023, park first then pay to enter.

Visitors to the Harwinton Fair will no longer need to stop and pay to enter at the main gate on Locust Road. We have installed interior fencing, multiple ticket booths and entrance gates to allow visitors to immediately enter the Fairgrounds, park their vehicle and then walk to one of the ticket booths and entrance gates.

We hope that this change reduces traffic and allows you to spend more time enjoying the Harwinton Fair!

Thank you!

The Harwinton Agricultural Society would like to thank Supreme Industries, Schultz Corporation, Tidy Services, W.I. Clark, Core Event Planning, Friendship Baptist Church of Litchfield, Bigos Farm and all of the exhibitors and volunteers for helping make the Harwinton Fair successful. Thank you!
