The 118th Wapping Fair, taking place at Evergreen Walk behind LA Fitness, is proud to bring you even more excitement with new attractions and features never been seen at the fair. Back by popular demand are the Racing Pigs!!! Yes, our loveable little pigs are back and brining with them some friends--the hot dog racing dachshunds!! See all our adorable animals racing around the track and doing some other amazing feats!!

New this year will be Jayna Lee and her astounding skills. The lovely and charming Jayna Lee will perform acrobatics, contortionist feats, aerial skills, stilt walking, juggling and more!! Returning favorites include Roderick Russell--sword swallower and fire eater, Ed the Wizard, Ronald McDonald, Wapping's Got Talent and the Little Miss/Mr. Farmer Contest. Once again, Sunday of the fair will be Family Fun Day, featuring games, contests and entertainment for the entire family to enjoy.

Meet and have your photo taken for free with Kaitlyn Brice and her hot pink #13 car all day on Sunday. Kaitlyn, only 14 and a member of Smokey's Racing, made history this year when she competed in the Dare Stock Division out of Stafford Motor Speedway which is a circuit of NASCAR.

Providing the rides again at Wapping Fair is Tufano Amusements, who will continue making our midway a true destination for fun for children of all ages as they will be bringing some of the best rides available including bumper cars, the pirate ship, the avalanche and more! Stop by Thursday night and Sunday from 2 -6 p.m. for our unlimited Ride Bracelets!!

Fairgoers can see a variety of animals during the fair, including the three-day-old baby chicks, along with more than 700 baking and arts and crafts exhibits on display for all to see. Exhibitors that win certain quilting and baking categories are eligible to compete at the Connecticut Fair Association meeting. Our bakers are welcome to enter the King Arthur Flour contests and win some great prizes!! Individuals of all ages are welcome to exhibit their items. All children that enter are guaranteed a ribbon! Look for our exhibitors guide on the agricultural section.

Does the Wapping Fair have plenty of food? Boy, do we!! The fair has a variety of different foods for all to enjoy, including everyone's favorite hot dogs and hamburgers, pizza, baked potatoes, sausage and peppers grinders, Taiwanese food, pulled pork, corn on the cob, French fries, smoothies, fried dough, and more!

Since 2001, the South Windsor Jaycees have been the driving force behind the Wapping Fair. The Jaycees use the money raised by the fair each year to fund many community projects. We hope you will take a moment to learn more about the South Windsor Jaycees.

Each year more than 20,000 people started or renewed a tradition by visiting the Wapping Fair...why not do the same with your family and friends this year?

We hope you enjoy your visit to the Wapping Fair!
