The Hardwick Community Fair, dubbed the "Oldest Fair in the United States" was established in 1762. It is currently held annually on the third full weekend (Friday and Saturday) in August.
The Hardwick Community Fair Association is a completely volunteer run organization, with 501(c)(3) status. Booths are operated by volunteers, under the umbrella of the Hardwick Fair, with 100% of the proceeds going to the operation of the fair. Volunteers are crucial for the yearly success of the Hardwick Fair. The Hamburger & Hotdog booth, Wrap Food Booth, Sausage Booth, Ice Cream Booth, Food Wheel, Merchandise Booth, and fair committees all need volunteers to operate.
