ABOUT THE FAIR
THE BRUSSELS AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY
Welcome to the Brussels Fall Fair
Rooted in tradition and community spirit, the Brussels Fall Fair has been celebrating our region's Irish agricultural heritage for over a century. Held annually in September, this family-friendly event brings together locals and visitors alike to experience the best of rural life, with a showcase of livestock, crops, and home crafts.
From live musical entertainment to face-painting clowns to interactive attractions in inflatables and escape rooms to vibrant competitions in baking, quilting, gardening, and craft works, the fair offers something for everyone. Whether you're a seasoned farmer or just looking for a fun outing, our fair promises a blend of exciting entertainment, educational exhibits, and delicious foods.
The Brussels Agricultural Society, which proudly organizes the fair, is dedicated to fostering a love for agriculture, supporting local farmers, and educating future generations about the importance of the farming community. Join us in celebrating our agricultural roots and enjoy the sights, sounds, and tastes that make our Fall Fair an unmissable event!
We want to thank all the sponsors as the fair couldn't exist without your support!
This year, the Brussels Agricultural Society is celebrating its 162nd Fall Fair with the 2025 theme of Overalls and Aprons.
