About Hopkinton State Fair

The Hopkinton State Fair sits on a sprawling multi-acre, nonprofit fairgrounds in Contoocook village, Hopkinton, New Hampshire. Known for agricultural exhibits, midway attractions, and a lineup of high-octane entertainment, this venue has hosted events like Demolition Derby, Monster Truck shows, New England Lawn M mower Racing Association races, and Dialed Action Sports BMX performances. The grounds serve as a community hub, with a on-site grandstand for main events and multiple fair map areas (STAGE) for non-traditional seating.

Whether you’re planning a day at the fair or a multi-day event, we’ve got you covered with practical details on seating, parking, transit, and nearby lodging and dining options to help you secure your plans with ease.

Note: There is no public, formal seating chart published for general use. Main grandstand events are accommodated at the on-site grandstand as shown on the fair map (STAGE area). Parking on-site is limited, so plan for town or off-site options, especially on busy days with town parking lotteries. Local transit includes buses and community shuttles serving Contoocook and Hopkinton, with ride services available from select operators. For stays, nearby hotels such as Courtyard Concord and Best Western Concord Inn & Suites are convenient bases, and we recommend checking partner listings for affiliated hotels and dining options to streamline your visit.
