The 58th Annual Octagon Fair is Saturday, September 20, 2025 from 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. on the Elmira College main Campus. Admission is FREE and open to the community. Children are welcome. Food trucks will be on site. We will have the 40Theeves band playing live music. This project is made possible in part by the QuickARTS grant program administered by The ARTS Council of the Southern Finger Lakes and funded by the Community Foundation of Elmira-Corning and the Finger Lakes, Inc.

The Octagon Fair is a community-wide, family-oriented event held on the Elmira College campus each fall. Octagon Fair will be on the main Elmira College Campus during Family Weekend and Alumni Reunion.

Octagon Fair showcases our very own talented student-run clubs and organizations. Crafters, vendors, authors, and entertainers from the greater Elmira, NY community are also invited to participate in the fun-filled day. The EC Alumni Board awards student club prizes for best presentations at the fair as well as hosts fundraisers to support their mission.
