Now age 56 ive been to many many fairs in my life but the street fair on Portland always had the best atmosphere and always made me feel as excited as a small child - traditions like this should not be broken and new generations should be able to have the wonderful memories from it that we all did!

portland fair has been a lifelong tradition on our isle, it was situated on the road at chiswel , and was huge thousands used to come for the two day event on november 5th ,portland fair was the last call for the seasons owners , and was a thrill for everyone ,in 2007 it was voted to be removed from the above road and sited on a piece of land nearby, the date of the fair has also been put back by 2 weeks which was totally out of order , and since this has happened the size of the fair has been reduced to a handful of rides and stalls, which has spoiled it for the whole island, i/we the majority of the people of portland want it back to how it used to be .

i too loved this as a child. Always talked about how amazing it was to my own children. Sadly they have never seen it like that, just worse every year.
