Scenes from the 48th Annual Riverhead Country Fair on Oct. 13, 2023. RiverheadLOCAL/ Denise Civiletti

Local residents and visitors alike flocked downtown Sunday to enjoy the 48th Annual Riverhead Country Fair.

Most vendor booths lined Main Street between Griffing and Maple avenues, with the riverfront parking lot hosting live music on the town’s show mobile, food vendors, carnival rides and community groups.

The East End Arts campus offered visitors this year’s entries in the agriculture and homemaking competitions, as well as demonstrations of antique farm equipment and motors, courtesy of the Long Island Antique Power Association, and live music performed by the East End Arts school.

Riverhead Country Fair is sponsored by Riverhead Townscape and cosponsored by the Town of Riverhead.
