Addison County Field Days

The 5-day Addison County Fair and Field Days takes place each August at the fairgrounds on the corner of Route 17 and Field Days Road. At the fair, ACMSA operates the sugarhouse, selling staples such as maple syrup and cream in addition to ready-to-eat treats including maple milkshakes, creemees, and cotton candy. Supplementing the food sales, there is a maple contest and an occasional cooking demonstration. This is the single largest fundraiser and event for the Association, requiring 66 volunteers for over 675 hours of work. It is a highlight of every year - everyone looks forward to Field Days!

The 2020 Addison County Fair and Field Days was supposed to be held August 11-15 but was canceled due to COVID-19.

Crowds gather in and around the ACFFD Sugarhouse.
