The oldest continuously operating agricultural fair in the country.
The Hampshire, Franklin, and Hampden Agricultural Society's Fairgrounds is located in Northampton, Massachusetts. This facility is at the geographical center of New England, as well as near the intersections of Interstate 90 (the Mass Turnpike) and Interstate 91. Access to the grounds is easy and convenient from all points in the east. Many motels, hotels and restaurants are located downtown, just minutes from the fairgrounds.
The scenic Holyoke Range provides the backdrop for the fifty acres of fairgrounds. The 250' x 150' Arena is available for trade shows and horse shows. Restroom and shower facilities are located in the building. The Grandstand, with seating for 1800, overlooks the track and a 200' x 100' outdoor show ring. There are numerous livestock and horse barns with both box and free standing stalls. Three outdoor stonedust rings (100'x235', 230'x130' and 260'x180' are available. Parking is available on both sides of the grounds.
In addition to the annual Fair, the facility has been a host to numerous horse shows. The New England Morgan Horse Show, held in July, attracts over 1000 horses from across the eastern states. Other horse shows have included Quarter Horses, Paint, Hunter/Jumpers, Reining and Arabian.
