Westport Woman's Club's Yankee Doodle Fair Returns June 12-15

Westport, CT - Once again, during Father’s Day Weekend, “kids of all ages” will convene at the Westport Woman’s Club (44 Imperial Avenue, Westport, CT) to partake in one of the town’s most cherished family events, the YANKEE DOODLE FAIR. This year’s family fair kicks off on Thursday, June 12 (6 PM – 10 PM) and continues through Friday, June 13 (6 PM – 10 PM), Saturday, June 14 (1 PM – 10 PM), and concludes on Sunday, June 15 (1 PM – 5 PM).

WWC President Robin Clark shares, “We’re thrilled to host the YANKEE DOODLE FAIR each year, a delightful end-of-school-year tradition. Net proceeds from the fair will benefit various charities in Fairfield County, provide need-based college scholarships to Staples High School students, and support our Food Closet, which proudly celebrates 50 years of assisting those facing food insecurity. The Westport Woman’s Club volunteers make a significant impact on the lives of so many.”

In 2025, with the support of YDF patrons, the Westport Woman’s Club awarded $124,200 in Community Service Grants and Scholarships! So, mark your calendars for June 12-15 and invite your friends and family to create wonderful memories at this year’s YANKEE DOODLE FAIR. 

The Yankee Doodle Fair will present carnival rides and games from Stewart Amusements. A pay-one-price, unlimited ride wristband option will be available each day! Our youngest guests will be delighted to discover that Sand Art returns this year.

This year's entertainment features Casey Clark, solo artist, performing on Friday (6 PM), Saturday (4 PM), and Sunday (1 PM). 

Throughout the fair, attendees will have the chance to purchase tickets for Yankee Doodle Fair Raffle Prizes. Moreover, the “Take a Chance” tent will make a comeback this year, offering a diverse array of prizes generously donated by local merchants and restaurants. “Take a Chance” prizes will be on display under a tent on the fair’s upper level, where tickets can be purchased. All winning Raffle and “Take a Chance” tickets will be drawn at the end of the fair on Sunday, Father’s Day. Winners do not need to be present to claim their prizes.

At the Yankee Doodle Food Court, the Westport Exchange Club will offer a selection of hamburgers, hot dogs, and beverages for customers of legal age, including wine and beer. GRECIAN DELIGHTS will serve up delicious Greek favorites such as gyros, souvlaki, and shish kebab. New this year, Vinci Concessions will serve fried dough, sweet (powdered sugar) and savory (pizza sauce). Skip’s vintage GOOD HUMOR Truck will return with ice cream treats for every palate. Additionally, Westport Woman’s Club will be selling cold drinks, amazing homemade baked goods, with proceeds directly helping to benefit our community.

The Westport Woman’s Club extends its gratitude to the generous community sponsors: Belta’s Family Legacy, Town Fair Tire, Joseph Cassano & Ellen Hooker, Sam Sloat Coins, Inc., Westport National Bank, The Jay Tolisano Team – Cross Country Mortgage, Luciano Paving, All American Waste, and Collective Rentals.
