The Victorian Fair, which is hosted each year by the Melrose Chamber of Commerce, will return for a 35th year on Sunday, September 13. The fair will run from 11:30 p.m. to 4 p.m.

The fair has become a beloved community tradition since first being introduced in 1981. The fair was established with the intentions of bringing community attention to the city’s renovated downtown area.

This year’s fair will be held in memory of longtime Melrose resident John T. Cinella. Cinella was longtime Attorney at the Killam & Cinella Law Office.

Thousands of people will flock to Main Street. The fair will continue to bring local residents, organizations and businesses together this year.

Hundreds of booths, featuring an array of food, arts, crafts, games, prizes and more will be set up. Local entertainment, rides and music will provide fun for folks of all ages.

Flu shots will also be offered by the Melrose Health Department.

In the event of inclement weather, the fair will be held on Sunday, September 20.
