Hudson County Fair open now through Oct. 8

The Hudson County Fair is back for a fourth year, with spectacular attractions and entertainment for the whole family. Taking place in Braddock Park across from the brand new statue of James J. Braddock on Riverview Drive, the fair has expanded to two full weekends of carnival rides, games, food, live entertainment, a petting zoo, and more.

The carnival held a soft opening on Wednesday, Sept. 26, 2018, but really kicks into high gear with an official ribbon cutting ceremony at 4 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 28, 2018. Then the fun continues every day straight through to Columbus Day on Oct. 8, 2018.

Weekends and holidays the fair opens at noon, weekdays at 6 p.m. Live bands including The Nerds, The Koots, and the Matt O’Ree Band will perform on the big stage.
