2026 Richmond County Fair | SEPTEMBER 5-7 | 12-8 pm

Since 1895, the Richmond County Fair has been a cornerstone of Staten Island, celebrating local business, culture, and community through vendors, performances, and competitions that reflect the borough’s rich character. For more than four decades, Historic Richmond Town has proudly hosted this tradition, welcoming over 15,000 visitors to its landmark campus each Labor Day weekend.

The Staten Island Culture Crawl is open to non-profit organizations in arts, culture, and social service. Organizations are invited to share their missions and work with the several thousand daily attendees of Historic Richmond Town’s flagship fundraiser and New York City’s original county fair.

The Staten Island Culture Crawl is located immediately within the Fair’s main entrance gate located at the corner of Richmond Road and St. Patrick’s Place. We look forward to showcasing organizations that make up the cultural fabric of Staten Island.

Because the Richmond County Fair is Historic Richmond Town’s most important fundraiser, participating organizations will not be permitted to fundraise during the event. Thank you for your cooperation.
