Providence Bay
Alexia Hannigan

Alexia here with your August fly-by! Here we are in the first week of August and it’s almost Providence Bay Fair time again! How in the hay bales did that happen so fast? This is a busy time for local folks: fairgoers, participants and the Agricultural Society alike. Everyone is adding those finishing touches, planning their work and preparing for rosettes and ribbons. Paraders are finishing their floats, classic car and vintage tractor owners are buffing their beauties, bands are rehearsing, farmers are herding their livestock and counting their goats. Lots to do and darn before all the carnival lights and musical nights are here! Happy countdown to fair and last sweltering weeks of summer! These are the days of opening the good wine and smelling the roses—go get it!

Here’s What’s happening: 

Agricultural Society and Fair: The 2026 “Carnival Lights and Musical Nights” Providence Bay Fair is scheduled for August 21-23 and will be epic as always. Be sure to follow the Providence Bay Facebook page or visit . Important announcement: The fair is excited to announce that this year will feature both a tractor show (Saturday, August 22, after the parade) and an antique car show (happening Sunday, August 23). The fair is looking for participants and entries for both events! To register your vehicle please email [email protected]. If you have a decorated float, horse, wagon, ATV, classic car, truck or tractor, community group, business, family or just a creative idea we want to see you in this year’s parade!
