The fair will be in Loughborough town centre for four days and it will be packed with a variety of funfair rides for all ages.
The historic fair, which is in its 797th year, is organised by Charnwood Borough Council and attracts thousands of people every year.
Cllr Jenny Bokor, Charnwood Borough Council’s lead member for Loughborough, said: “We’re delighted to be hosting Loughborough Fair once again and I am sure many, many people will come to town to enjoy it.
“We’ll have rides, stalls and games and it’s a great family occasion.
“It’s incredible to think this tradition has been going for nearly 800 years in Loughborough and we look forward to it continuing long into the future.”
The fair will include a host of rides including Magic Mouse, Top Scan, King Frog, Extreme, Sky Bomber, Freak Out, Golden Gallopers, Miami Trip and the Jumbo Circus fun house, one of the largest mobile fun houses in the country.
