Meet your City at the Annual Victorian Fair taking place this Sunday, September 10 on Main Street from 11:00 a.m. —4:00 p.m. The City of Melrose is proud to once again support this event hosted by the Melrose Chamber of Commerce.

Now in its 42nd 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,” 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, and beyond, to the various community groups and businesses that make our community so great, there will be 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. I thank the Melrose Chamber of Commerce staff, board of directors and volunteers for once again putting together this community event.”

Please note that the follow areas in downtown Melrose will be closed to vehicle traffic from approximately 4:00 a.m. — 7:00 p.m. on the day of the Fair:

  • Main Street (from Essex/Upham Street to Grove Street)
  • West Foster Street (from Main Street to Regina Gifts)
  • East Foster Street at Main Street

This event will continue to bring residents and families together for a daylong celebration. As parking will be limited, residents are encouraged to walk or bike to the Fair – and take advantage of the Bike Valet Services being offered by the Melrose Pedestrian & Bicyclist Committee on East Foster Street.
