Cummington Fair — Attraction in Cummington

Our family attended the Renaissance faire, as we have the past few years, last weekend, Aug 5th. The admission prices were $20 per person, and honestly it was far from worth it. Half of the vendors that we were used to seeing weren't there, including both booths and food. The food trucks that were there, as well as the food pavilion, were well overpriced for the offerings. Not to mention they kept running out of turkey legs. Speaking to a few vendors both during and outside the faire, the administration hiked the vendor prices upwards of 3 times the regular price. It was a boring and expensive experience. As a family, we get a better value and a better time at other fairs in the area, including ones as large as the Big E. We will be skipping the upcoming Cummington fair as I am told they pulled the same price hikes as...

Good time at the Massachusetts renaissance faire. The ticket prices were good, parking was free and ample. Google maps ends approximately a mile before the site, just keep driving and you'll find it. The entertainment wasn't bad, though not much variation in what was offered, mostly music. Many vendors were available with different wares. The worst part was the cost of food. I know faires mark up the cost of food, but a plain burger with nothing on it and from a frozen, cheap patty, should not be $7. Save some money and bring your own...

Bad experience at the 2024 Cummington Fair.

Law enforcement was extremely rude and aggressive to my 75-yo father when he asked if there was parking in a particular entrance.

The entrance fee with parking ($37) was much more than we expected, especially with a veteran and senior in our party.

The most interesting thing was the tractor parade. Food was reasonably priced. It seemed like most of the Fair was dedicated to rides and food concessions, rather than cultural and agricultural stuff, which was disappointing.

It wasn't worth the drive...
