While you probably won't see a tractor pull, a pig race, or a 19-pound rabbit — that would be the Iowa State Fair — this fair puts a new spin on the traditional county fair. At this day-long celebration of art and food grown in Brooklyn, learn how to can or compost under your counter, watch a cook-off by competitive chefs, and cool down by the Bar of Brooklyn Brews, with libations provided by Brooklyn Brewery, Red Hook Wines, Brooklyn Oenology, and Kings County Distillery (New York's oldest whiskey distillery). And with food from The Meat Hook, Marlowe & Sons, and Egg, you can save your fantasies of pie-eating contests for your cross-country trip. We're not in Kansas anymore.

The Invisible Dog Art Center says…

Hear live music performed by local Bang on a Can marching band Asphalt Orchestra; taste delicacies prepared by local chefs inspired by ingredients from Brooklyn farms; view specially commissioned work exploring the culture of agriculture by local artists; participate in a Blue Ribbon Competition hosted by GreenThumb; and browse a marketplace with some of Brooklyn’s small-batch artisanal food purveyors curated by Greenpoint Food Market.
