probably they were a bit of everything, including fashion show and selling clothes, but apparently music played an important role; since the few Google hits on \"tenage fairs\" seem to center around the sixties, when teenagers often had less money than nowadays, selling / buying will probably have played a minor part.

But, I never went to visit one.

fair

Explanation:
like any trade fair only this was for teens: trade fairs have events, exhibits, shows, etc. food stands....in this case, I would imagine music shows, booths {maybe with and without purchase possible of displayed items) fashion shows, every kind of event you can imagine fdirected at teens
