Jenkintown Red & Blue Fair

Jenkintown’s annual Red & Blue Fair will be held on Saturday, May 18th from 11am-3pm on the grounds of the Jenkintown Elementary School.  The Fair is one of Jenkintown’s great traditions and should not be missed!  It is open to the public and is a wonderful family, school, and community event!

At the Fair, you will find games, inflatables, dunk tank, grocery roulette, fire truck rides, an amazing plant sale, a fabulous gift basket raffle, delicious food, and SO MUCH MORE!

The Fair is held RAIN or SHINE…in case of rain we move indoors with all the same fun (with the possible exception of inflatables and fire truck rides)!
