The Belchertown Fair & Parade is a free, volunteer-coordinated community fair held on the town common in Belchertown, MA — a fair the organizers describe as grounded in agriculture and civic pride. The 2026 edition is the 167th, themed "Stars, Stripes and Fair Nights" for the country's 250th birthday. All three days of entertainment and activity are free, and the fair estimates annual attendance between 37,000 and 39,000. Alongside the parade there is an exhibit hall, large- and small-animal shows, vendor booths, and a midway presented by Fanelli Amusements; theme awards are given in the parade, the vendor booths and the exhibit hall, and vendor applications open online each spring. Alcohol is not permitted on the grounds, and dogs other than service animals should be left at home.

Conditions stated by the organizer: the fair is held on the town common among mature trees, so booth placement requires flexibility and the same space as last year is not guaranteed; returning vendors should not assume a larger spot, as space is significantly limited. Tents with cooking underneath must comply with Massachusetts fire-safety requirements, which affects space availability and location. No Styrofoam — all food and beverage containers should be biodegradable. A Decorated Booth Contest runs each year on the fair theme, with a $50 refund to the adult winner and the youth winner. The 2026 vendor list is to be posted September 14. No fixed application deadline is published, but the organizer warns: "Do not wait too long. We fill quickly and move to a wait list only situation."
