HILLSBOROUGH, NJ — The annual Hillsborough Rotary Fair for 2022 kicks off Tuesday and will run through Saturday.

Here is everything you need to know before you go:

Hours: 6 to 10 p.m. on Tuesday through Thursday, and 6 to 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

Fireworks: A firework display by Interstate Fireworks and sponsored by Petrock's Bar & Grille and Petrock's Liquors, will light up Hillsborough skies on Friday, at about 10 p.m. The rain date for the fireworks is Saturday at 10 p.m.

Entertainment: A classic carnival with a colorful midway features more than 20 amusement rides, games of chance, food vendors and an exposition of local businesses.

Cashless Ride Payment System: The Hillsborough Rotary Fair wil feature a cashless payment system for all Fair rides. Patrons can purchase a special wristband at the centrally located kiosk station. The wrist bands are then used in place of tickets to gain entry to the rides. The cost of each ride will be automatically deducted from the amount of money on the wristband. A $35, all-night-long ride access purchase option is available every night, or patrons may choose a different dollar amount appropriate for only select rides. Additionally, a nearby "Help Tent" will offer a cash payment option for rides. The food and game vendors will continue to accept only cash.

New Digital Map: A new feature being introduced this year is the "Hillsborough Rotary Fair Interactive Digital Map," sponsored by Hillsborough’s Pinnacle Health and Fitness. Guests will be able to scan a QR code with their phones that will take them to a landing page where a map and other Fair information will be displayed.

Giant 50/50 Raffle: In years past, this raffle has resulted in a multi-thousand-dollar payout to a single winner. The winning ticket will be selected Saturday evening, Aug. 20, at the Fair. The winner need not be present at the time of the drawing. Tickets will be available for purchase throughout the Fair dates for $5 each.

Funds: All funds raised by the Hillsborough Rotary Club are returned to the community as contributions and service projects.
