Hillsborough Rotary Fair
The 15th annual Hillsborough Rotary Fair kicks off Tuesday, August 15, with new thrill rides, more food vendors and an updated interactive digital map allowing fairgoers to plan their visit in advance and link directly to the Expo’s local businesses.
Located at the fairgrounds adjacent to the Hillsborough Promenade (315 Route 206 next to Lowes), the Rotary Fair draws over 15,000 visitors annually from Hillsborough and surrounding communities. Many fairgoers are second and third generation attendees, and consider the family-friendly fair a family tradition. With 20 amusement rides, fireworks, games of chance, food vendors, and a local business exposition, there is something at the Fair for everyone. Fair hours are 6-10 PM on Tuesday through Thursday, and 6-11 PM on Friday and Saturday.
The updated digital FAIR MAP , which was developed by Pinnacle Health and Fitness of Hillsborough, has undergone a number of improvements, and continuously uploads new and valuable information for attendees.
Cashless Ride Payment System
The Rotary Fair will once again feature a cashless payment system for all Fair rides. Patrons will purchase a special wristband at kiosks available throughout the fairgrounds. The wrist bands are then used in place of tickets to gain entry to the rides. The cost of each ride will be automatically deducted from the amount of money on the wristband. A $35, all-night-long ride access purchase option is available every night, or patrons may choose a different dollar amount appropriate for only select rides. The food and game vendors will continue to accept only cash.
