Focus: Going Home to a ‘Middle’ of Fair Sights, Friends, Neighbors and a High Five
But, what about the middle? The end of the Fair Haven Firemen’s Fair has always brought me, and many a “fair” kid, back to that middle haven. It’s home … It’s that time — the time when you held it and walked with it (that balloon that eventually got away) that made you smile — like a memory. Letting it go never takes that middle away. ~ Elaine Van Develde
Call it finding a new “middle.” The end of the Fair Haven Firemen’s Fair 2025 came on Saturday night.
The beginning of the end-of-summer tradition — for not only Fair Havenites, but the many who’ve bonded with it in a community brick-and-mortar-like solidarity — came more than 120 years ago.

It used to be called Firemen’s Night. It was the night when firemen from all over the state rode in to the fairgrounds at the Fair Haven Firemen’s Fair on their firetrucks amid a flurry of blaring sirens and flashing lights.

Simple Summer: Fishin’ for Some Crabby Dock Time
What a catch! It doesn’t get more simple or summery than crabbing and fishing on the Fair Haven Dock. It’s a time-honored tradition.
New restrictions? Not a 10-gallon cooler in sight. No mattresses. No fires. Nothing but a few fishermen and their bait, poles, traps and some good simple summer times down by the river. It’s how it’s always been on the dock on any given simple summer day to remember.
Take a look and remember your simple summer daze on the Fair Haven Dock …

All gathered in Fair Haven Fields for the annual birthday bash for the borough in the spirit of community, organized and sponsored by the non-profit Foundation of Fair Haven.
