Without further qualification, I'd interpret "fair" as a (temporary, mobile) funfair: an annual event with fairground rides, stalls, etc. I think American usage may tend more towards trade fairs. As for mapping the temporary funfair thing, that's difficult, at least around here. Every November the town's biggest car park is closed to parking for a week and is used for several fairground rides and a couple of food stalls. As part of the same event, for a couple of days most of the town centre is closed to traffic and the streets are filled with market stalls selling all sort of things of varying quality, from real bargains to absolute garbage (like eBay made physical). Hard to map. There is also an annual agricultural-based show held in some large fields. -- Paul
