New York State Woodsmen’s Field Days

Boonville, a village in northern Oneida County, is the setting for New York State Woodsmen’s Field Days, an annual festival. Held each year in mid-August, it is built around the skills and traditions of the woods, as the name suggests, and draws visitors for fair-style entertainment.

A fair like this tends to be as much a community get-together as a show, with demonstrations, food and family activities mixed in. Because the event takes place once a year, it is worth planning around the August date and confirming the details before heading north.
