I am new to the neighborhood and surprised that I can’t find any more information on this fair. I found a reference from 2007 so it has been around a few years but there isn’t any marketing or other info I can find.
You did not hear about it because it is just another of those somewhat grimy carney sideshows with fried everything and some weird vendors.
Ah! I need to move to Brooklyn! Cobble Hill, Park Slope! The Heights!
don’t waste your time. they are always awful
I was there. Same old socks for sale. Same Chinese massage stands. I spent some money; wished I hadn’t. Toddlers seemed to be enjoying the inflatable bouncy rooms powered by those noisy generators.
I much more enjoyed biking around to the Cobble Hill stoop sales, which was made difficult by the fair-induced traffic congestion.
