The Danbury Fair was an annual Connecticut extravaganza that began in 1869 and captivated people from all corners of the region for over a century. Whether it was the thrilling rides, spectacular big top events, exhilarating races, or enticing midway attractions, there was something for everyone of all ages to enjoy. The festive villages and daily parade added to the excitement, making it a beloved tradition for generations.
Sadly, the Danbury Fair came to a close, with an estimated 400,000 attendees bidding farewell to this iconic event. The Danbury Fair Mall now stands in its place. Join John Cilio to take a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about the fun and tradition that was celebrated for decades.
