Batavia Depot Museum's newest exhibit, "In Harmony" opens today and is on exhibit through November 22.
From the amazing Batavia High School Marching Band to community ensembles and church choirs, local groups and residents have made music side by side for generations. This exhibit celebrates the bands, choirs and ensembles that didn't just create music together, but were creating connections and community beyond the final note.
All the fun of the fair without worrying about parking!
Since the first fair held here in 1888, the fairgrounds has provided the perfect showplace for agricultural exhibits and commercial venues. The 185 acres of well-manicured park-like settings, the charming buildings, and the friendly atmosphere improve with age.
Every year in September, starting on the Wednesday after Labor Day, the fairgrounds come alive for five days, with carnival rides, mouth-watering fair foods, and vendors from all over the Midwest. Exhibitors from near and far show the fruits of their labor. Free entertainment and attractions—along with nationally acclaimed acts—prove to be thrilling for all ages.
Trip includes admission to fair and transportation. Space is limited: bataviaparks.info/sandwichfair
