Monthly First Fridays — a citywide celebration of music, art and activities — feature special events, tastings and extended shopping hours. In July, Goshen hosts one of the country’s largest 4-H Fairs. Over 250,000 fairgoers enjoy top-name entertainment, a giant midway, rodeo events, livestock exhibits and a feast of fair foods.
