May 22, 2019, Medford, NY – The Brookhaven Fair, a Long Island tradition for over seventeen years, will be bigger and better than ever in 2019 at its brand new home, The Fairgrounds in Medford, which runs from Memorial Day Weekend through Father’s Day Weekend.

The Fairgrounds is a dedicated outdoor entertainment venue conveniently located a half-mile east of Exit 64 of the Long Island Expressway, on the South Service Road.

Fair spokesperson Peri Appollo says the move maintains all the Fair fan favorites, while making it much easier and more convenient to attend. “There’s easy access from the L.I.E. and far more on-site parking, which will eliminate the need for shuttle buses. This year, we’ll feature even more free entertainment, new amusement rides, delicious fair food, and challenging games of skill. Everything Long Islanders have known and loved about the Brookhaven Fair will be enhanced for 2019 at The Fairgrounds!”
