10 Big Events This Year In Rhinebeck New York

It is time to start thinking about all of the Fun that we can have this year at the Dutchess County Fair Grounds. Each year they offer great events for the whole family.

Don't Get Caught In A Vendor Scam for the Dutchess County Fairgrounds

The first event on the calendar is in April, but before we go down the list there is something that the Dutchess County Fair Grounds needs you to know. There are scammers out there looking to take your money who are impersonating the Fairgrounds.

Last week the Dutchess County Fairgrounds shared on social media that anyone selling vendor spots for the events at the fairgrounds in 2025 is a scam. They explained that the only way to be a vendor is to go to the Dutchess County Fair Website directly

Do not fall for people claiming to have vendor applications! We try to block/ban them as we see them - but some get through. Go to our website, click on Events - and each event will have it's website listed for you to get vendor info. (Dutchess County Fairgrounds via Facebook)
