Labor Day is the last day to visit this year’s Fonda Fair

The 183rd Annual Fonda Fair wraps up on Labor Day, Monday, September 2, 2024 at the Fonda Fairgrounds.

The county fair season is coming to a close here in the Mohawk Valley as the Fonda Fair wraps up today. So today, on Labor Day, is the last county fair day of the year.

What is Labor Day?

Labor Day has its origins in the labor union movement, specifically the eight-hour day movement, which advocated eight hours for work, eight hours for recreation, and eight hours for rest. It became an official federal holiday in 1894 observed on the first Monday of September. It is customarily viewed as the end of the summer vacation season.

Visit the Fonda Fair on Labor Day!

The most unique county fair is the Fonda Fair which includes Fulton and Montgomery counties. Like all county fairs in the area, The Fonda Fair continues to represent the area’s agricultural past with today’s focus on draft animals show, 4-H livestock auction, and Draft animal 6-Horse Exposition.

Today is a special day at the Fonda Fair. The fair recognizes and demonstrates community appreciation for service members and first responders along with the sacrifices they make every day.

All Military & First Responders in uniform or with proper ID get in for free all day.
