Meet Your City at the Victorian Fair

Martha

Meet your City this Sunday, September 11 at the Annual Victorian Fair taking place on Main Street from 11 a.m. —4 p.m. The City of Melrose is proud to once again support this event hosted by the Melrose Chamber of Commerce.

Now in its 41st year, the Victorian Fair includes entertainment, performances, small amusements (for a fee), food for purchase, over 150 booths showcasing civic and non-profit groups, businesses, local products, and services. The event also features the popular Big-Ticket Raffle, for which community members can purchase their tickets for $10 at the Chamber booth located at the corner of Main Street and West Foster Street.

“The Victorian Fair is not only a fun way to spend your Sunday; it’s also great opportunity to meet your City, so to speak,” said Mayor Paul Brodeur. “I encourage residents of all ages to stop at every City booth to meet the friendly faces of our municipality. From the Mayor’s Office to the Department of Public Works, we’ll have various engaging activities at each stop. More than that, it’s a chance to ask us questions, get to know who is working for you and what we do.”

Please note that the follow areas in downtown Melrose will be closed to vehicle traffic from approximately 4 a.m. — 6 p.m. on the day of the Fair:

  • Main St. (from Essex St./Upham St. to Grove St.)
