The 178th Dutchess County Fair Kicks off in Rhinebeck, New York

Fair season is upon us in the Hudson Valley and the Dutchess County Fair is off to a beautiful start.

The 178th Dutchess County Fair kicked off on Tuesday, August 20th, 2024 at the fairgrounds in Rhinebeck, NY. It was a gorgeous 70-degree day and fairgoers began pouring into the fairgrounds at 10 am on the dot.

And just like that, the 178th Dutchess County Fair was in full swing.
