A porchfest is a free, one-day music festival where the stages are people's front porches — no gate, no ticket, no fenced venue. Here is how the format works, what to bring, where the idea came from, and every porchfest still ahead on our Massachusetts calendar this season.
September is the busiest month of the New England fair season, and Connecticut and Massachusetts carry most of it. Every fair and festival of the month sorted by weekend, with the two weekends still ahead marked — the Big E, Old Deerfield, Durham and more.
The Granite State Fair, formerly the Rochester Fair, runs across two separate September weekends in 2026 — September 17-20 and September 24-27 — with the grounds closed in between. Here's what's on, and why the split schedule catches people out.
Whether you're a promoter organizing fairs or a vendor looking to participate, we've got you covered.
