Check on times for kids' games, eating contests, shows and more.
Police/Fire Demos
Eating Contests
What would a county fair be without an eating contest or two, or more? Each day at the fair we will hold at least one eating contest. There will be the traditional pie eating contest, watermelon eating contests, a jello eating contest, a pudding eating contest and The Passaic County Fair has to have a Texas Weiner eating contest. If interest is high we may add one or two more. The winner of each contest will receive a very special trophy. Competitors and spectators alike are sure to have lots of fun!
Games of Skill
Play to win and win when you play. Get the basketball in the hoop -it's not as easy as it looks. Do you have a steady hand with a squirt gun? Give it a try. Winning a prize at the county fair is always fun!
Dance Performances
Baking Contests
Scavenger Hunts
Kids Races & Games
Every county fair needs some special activities for kids. We think some of these activities should include sack races, bubble-gum blowing competitions, water balloon tosses, Frisbee throws, scavenger hunts, egg races, and just for the parents to show the kids how it's done--three-legged races. All competitors will receive colorful ribbons as awards.
Dunk Tank
We have a very special dunk tank this year at the Passaic County Fair. You're going to want to dunk this clown. Then you're going to want to dunk him again! He really asks for it!
Business Displays
Pony Rides
And much more!
This Fair is Alcohol Free!
