Scheduled for the third weekend in May\, it has grown from a single ride and a few games into a much anticipated occasion. Generations of families in Winchester and surrounding communities have attended and continue to support tradition. The Fair is our primary source of fundraising dollars and funds raised support our Grants\, Social Service\, Pantry and community outreach programs during the year.\nIn May\, 1935 the En Ka Society held its first street fair. It was a novelty to Winchester and was a huge success\, attracting thousands. The first fair was held in the parking lot at the rear of Town Hall\, running from Washington Street to what is now known as Sandy’s Island. Brightly painted posts\, balloons\, and a sign marked the entrance to the “street.”\nContinuing to this day\, the En Ka Fair marks the beginning of summer for many citizens\, old and young alike. We hope you will join us in May for this fun-filled event! \n Hours:\n Friday:\n Fairgrounds open: 5 pm to 11 pm\n Saturday: PARADE 9 am*\n Fairgrounds open: 10 am to 10 pm\nWHERE ?\n Town Hall parking lot – 109 Skillings\, Rd\, Winchester\, MA\, 01890 URL:https://visitwinchesterma.com/event/enka-fair-3/ LOCATION:Winchester Center\, Winchester\, MA\, 01890 CATEGORIES:Annual Events,Town Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://visitwinchesterma.com/wp-content/uploads/2024-button.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20240601 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20240602 DTSTAMP:20260609T185702 CREATED:20240511T005429Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240511T005429Z UID:1813-1717200000-1717286399@visitwinchesterma.com SUMMARY:Winchester's 43rd Annual Town Day DESCRIPTION:Winchester Town Day had its beginning in the mid-1970s when a group of town residents decided that a late spring community party would be a great way to start off the summer. \nAlthough the original Town Day was held in 1974-1976\, it was revived in 1982 by the Winchester Jaycee chapter. It is now overseen by the Winchester Town Day Committee\, a group of volunteers who come together each year with the sole purpose of holding a celebration for the Winchester community. \nThe thousands of individuals and families who attend can enjoy a day of browsing exhibits\, playing games\, competing in athletics\, eating(!)\, listening to different types of music\, attending the health fair\, and watching the grand finale\, fireworks. \nNow in its 43rd consecutive year\, Town Day continues to grow in popularity as a great way to kick off the summer in a New England town! \nEach year the Committee tries to recruit new volunteers. Volunteers are needed to work now and at the event. Tasks include clerical work\, marketing\, production assistance\, shirt sales\, booth and stage setup. The committee can always use new volunteers as well as new ideas. If you think you might like to be part of a hard-working\, fun-loving group\, and would like to volunteer a few hours\, please email the Town Day Committee.
