Sadly, there will not be a Fair in the Square this year.

After 17 years of bringing joy, music and hamburgers to our community, CCF, alongside our partner VCC, has made the difficult decision to pause Fair in the Square this year due to temporary restrictions related to the soccer World Cup. We are deeply grateful to the many volunteers, donors and sponsors who have made this event possible over the years. We look forward to welcoming you back to Fair in the Square. Keep an eye out for updates about 2027!
