Dear Friends of the Peru Fair,
It is with deep regret that we share that the Peru Fair will not continue in 2026 and in future years at this point in time. This decision did not come easily. After many discussions and careful assessment, it has become clear that financial constraints, transportation and logistical challenges, and ongoing difficulties in securing enough volunteers make it no longer feasible to host the Fair at the level our community deserves.
The 2025 Fair was a historic year that brought many visitors to our beloved town, and we are grateful to have ended on such a high note. At the same time, our concerns about not being able to continue to deliver the Fair in a sustainable, safe, and successful way are real.
While the Board has made this difficult decision, it is our hope that at a future date there may be a revitalization of this wonderful event.
We want to express our profound gratitude to everyone who has made the Peru Fair what it has been—our attendees, our wonderful volunteers, our incredible vendors, our local community, our friends and families, and the many businesses who have stood by us with their time, energy, and generosity. Your support over the years has meant more than we can express.
Thank you for being part of this special tradition.
With appreciation,
The Peru Fair Board
