It’s that time of year again, or rather, it was! The 2025 North Haven Fair has wrapped up, and if you were there, you know what a fantastic time it was. From the lively entertainment and engaging events to the adorable animals, impressive exhibits, and, of course, the mouth-watering food, it sounds like the fair delivered on all fronts. It’s always a bittersweet feeling when a beloved event concludes, isn't it? That sense of shared enjoyment, the buzz of the crowd, the simple pleasure of a good day out.
But here’s the good news: the North Haven Fair is already looking forward to next year. Mark your calendars! The 2026 edition is set to take place the weekend after Labor Day, from September 4th to 7th. That gives us plenty of time to anticipate the return of all the fair’s highlights.
And while we’re talking about North Haven Fairgrounds, it’s worth noting that the year isn't quite over yet. There’s still a special event on the horizon: Winterfest! This festive gathering is scheduled for Saturday, November 29th, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. It’s described as the final event of the year at the fairgrounds, and it sounds like a perfect way to usher in the holiday spirit. Imagine meeting Santa, enjoying kid-friendly activities, browsing through vendor stalls, and just soaking in the cheerful atmosphere. It’s definitely an event for the whole family.
For those who might be interested in the nitty-gritty of harbour improvements on Fair Isle, a separate document touches upon upgrades needed at North Haven harbour to accommodate a new ferry. This involves significant dredging work, with detailed sediment characterization studies being conducted. It’s a fascinating glimpse into the infrastructure that supports remote communities, though quite a different flavour from the community fun of the fair itself. It highlights the multifaceted nature of places named North Haven, each with its own unique story and developments.
