ENTERING THE FAIR
THE BRUSSELS AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY
Steps to Enter the Fair
At the Brussels Fall Fair, there are exhibits for all ages, allowing anyone to enter the fair and engage in a friendly competition. There are a number of steps involved to enter the fair!
Step 1. Select your Activities
From the 2025 Fall Fair Book, select one or more activities to complete before the Fall Fair.
Step 2. Complete your Activities
Complete the activities in accordance with their "specifications" listed in the Fair Book, adhering to the "Rules and Regulations" for entering the fair.
Step 3. Register your Entries
Register your entry into AssistExpo, our Fall Fair Entry Management System.
AssistExpo is a management system that allows the Brussels Agricultural Society to easily compile fair results and produce various reports on the activities of the fair. The reports generated from this program help guide future programming at the Brussels Fall Fair.
To register your entry into AssistExpo, you can follow our AssistExpo Registration Guide.
Step 4. Complete your Entry Tag
In accordance with the fair's "Rules and Regulations", all articles entered into the fair must be accompanied by a completed entry tag. Entry tags can be picked up at Craft Days or during Registration Periods leading up to the fair.
On both Craft Days and during Registration Periods leading up to the fair, Brussels Agricultural Society members can assist you in completing your Entry Tags.
Each Entry Tag requires an exhibitor number, which is generated by the Brussels Agricultural Society the first time you enter the fair. The exhibitor number generated for you will stay with you for life.
If you don't know your exhibitor number, you can contact the Brussels Agricultural Society Secretary who can look up and provide you with your exhibitor number.
Step 5. Bring your Entries to the Fair
The last step is to bring your entries to the Fall Fair during one of the Registration Periods in the days leading up to the fair.
