Fairest of the Fair

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fairest of the Fair is the title of a 1908 march by John Philip Sousa. One of Sousa's more melodic, less military marches, it was composed for the annual Boston Food Fair of 1908. It is claimed that the memory of a pretty girl he had seen at an earlier fair inspired the composition.^{[citation needed]}
