May Fair at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church
Friday, May, 12, 2017 @ 5:00 pm - 10:00 pm
St. Mark’s Episcopal Church will hold the 68th Annual May Fair, kicking off with “Friday Night Lights” on Friday, May 12 from 5PM-10:00PM, and on Saturday, May 7 from 9AM-7PM. May Fair, recognized as Connecticut’s largest one-day fair, will be held on the church grounds at 111 Oenoke Ridge, New Canaan. Back by popular demand, “Friday Night Lights” will serve as a prelude to the main event on Saturday, and will hold a special appeal for young adults and kids, offering all of the carnival rides, music, and special food concessions. St. Mark’s will sell an “unlimited rides” wristband for $25 exclusively for “Friday Night Lights” attendees. On Saturday, May 13, May Fair will run from 9AM-7PM with its full array of rides, games, entertainment, and White Elephant and book sales. The enormous May Fair White Elephant Tag Sale (9AM-4PM) features thousands of items for sale including jewelry, furniture, rugs, china, crystal, art, collectibles, lamps, kitchenware, linens, electronics, toys, games, sporting goods, and lawn furniture. Delicious foods will be available for purchase including grilled chicken, smoked brisket, pulled pork, corn on the cob, hotdogs and hamburgers, pizza, ice cream, and many other treats including May Fair’s famous strawberry shortcake. St. Mark’s BBQ ministry, “The Holy Smokers”, prepare for May Fair long in advance, and stay up for days to smoke the brisket and pulled pork sold at the fair, using their trademark St. Mark’s Bell Tower BBQ Sauce. The Food Court will be open from 10:30AM-5:00PM, or until supplies run out.
