Long Island Fair

September 25th – 27th, October 2nd – 4th; Long Island, New York

Take a break from city life to visit one of the longest running fairs in the history of the United States. The Long Island Fair features events such as scarecrow-building and corn-husking contests, cross-cut sawing races, and wagon rides, all throughout the scenic beauty of central Long Island. You can even take a ride in a tethered hot air balloon! Who knew you could do that so close to the City?
