Hillsborough's hometown fair returns with rides, livestock, grandstand shows and eleven days of classic fair food.
Hillsborough's November 5-15 fair brings midway rides, food, youth livestock, agricultural exhibits and grandstand entertainment to Dover. Regular adult gate admission is $23.70 online, with $21.63 advance admission available until November 5 at 4 p.m.; published prices include ticket and card-processing fees. Admission includes the special grandstand events, but ride wristbands are separate and do not include gate entry. Parking is free. November 5 and 12 are carload-only nights: a $57 ticket covers up to eight people legally seated in one vehicle, including admission and ride wristbands; individual admission is not sold those nights. Children age 5 and under have free regular gate admission. Other daily promotions differ, so select your date before buying and check the official schedule for show times.
