May Fair 2026

The countdown for New Canaan’s cherished town tradition – May Fair – is only weeks away. Rain or shine for the last 77 years and counting. Always happily shared with Mother’s Day weekend, St. Mark’s Episcopal Church’s annual event is guaranteed joy with endless unbridled energy that attracts thousands of multigenerational friends and families from New Canaan and its surrounding towns. Mark your calendar for the White Elephant Preview Party on Thursday, May 7, from 5-7:30 PM, Friday Night Lights on May 8, open from 5-10 PM, and Saturday’s May Fair event on Saturday, May 9, open from 9 AM-3 PM, rides staying open until 6 PM. All net proceeds support St. Mark’s ministries and special grant support to other nonprofits who serve those in need.
