Celebrate The 20th Anniversity Of The Marshfield Area Cultural Fair

The Cultural Fair started in 2004 and has been held annually since then. Each year, no matter what February weather throws at us, over 1,000 people attend the fair. People of all ages and many cultures participate in sharing stories, music, performances, and food. Each year, we create a sense of a village celebrating its incredibly rich diversity. We look forward to continuing this tradition in our community!

This year, we have an ever-growing lineup of local exhibitors and musicians on two stages, and a wide selection of food vendors and more!
