Our biggest fundraiser, the Richmond County Fair!
Staten Island’s annual community celebration and Historic Richmond Town’s biggest fundraiser.
Since 1980, Historic Richmond Town has proudly hosted the Richmond County Fair. Each Labor Day weekend, more than 15,000 visitors gather on our historic campus, transformed into a vibrant 25-acre festival celebrating community, culture, and tradition. Rather than a formal gala, the Fair serves as our “people’s gala” and remains our most important annual fundraiser. Every ticket purchased directly supports our mission to preserve and share Staten Island’s history.
Historic Richmond Town is New York City’s most complete outdoor living history village and open-air museum. Founded in 1856, the organization restores and interprets a historic village, operates a historical museum, and collects and preserves material culture to inspire engagement with and understanding of the diverse histories of Staten Island.
Proceeds from the Richmond County Fair sustain the care and preservation of 38 historic structures across 112 acres and multiple sites under our stewardship. Your support also enables us to deliver educational programming to more than 25,000 students each year.
Historic Richmond Town is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. We are deeply grateful to our corporate sponsors, community partners, and all who attend the Fair. Your support makes this work possible. See you at the Fair!
