A person who attends or visits a fair, especially a carnival or exposition.
Compound word from 'fair' (a public gathering for trade or amusement) plus 'goer' (one who goes). The word follows the productive English pattern of 'X-goer' for people attending venues.
The word 'fairgoer' captures a whole social type—before computers, county fairs were major entertainment events where people could see new inventions, carnival rides, and agricultural prizes, so fairgoers were like tourists before tourism.
