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.

Vendor Applications

Download the "2026 MARKETPLACE VENDOR APPLICATION" PDF linked from the fair's VENDORS page (the file is served from Saffire's CDN and is named 2026_Barn_Vendor_Application(1).pdf, so it is the current year's form). The Marketplace is 18,000 square feet of INDOOR shopping and takes crafters, homemade keepsakes, locally grown farm products, commercial vendors and exhibitors, plus local wineries doing sampling and take-home bottle sales — the published categories run to arts and crafts, jewelry, books, photography, toys and home-improvement services. ⚠️ FOOD VENDORS: the page states "We are no longer accepting FOOD vendor applications," so the open track is Marketplace/commercial only. The fair is run by the Hampshire, Franklin & Hampden Agricultural Society, a 501(c)(3); phone (413) 584-2237; shipping address 54 Fair Street, Northampton, MA 01060, mailing address PO Box 305, Northampton, MA 01061. The same page publishes the full list of scheduled 2026 Marketplace vendors (roughly seventy businesses, with new-this-year entries marked), which is a useful way to check whether your product category is already represented before applying.
