The Three County Fair fills Labor Day weekend at the Hampshire, Franklin & Hampden Agricultural Society's fairgrounds on Fair Street in Northampton; the Society calls the 2026 edition its 209th consecutive fair. Four days take in competitions and exhibits entered through the Exhibitors Guide, demolition derbies, the Honeyman Legacy Photography Contest, a midway, and a marketplace of food and craft vendors. The Society behind it is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that also awards scholarships, runs an annual food drive, and rents the grounds for events year-round.
