Comment: "bardziej mnie przekonuje
"fairs" jest wieloznaczne; pierwsza myśl to "targi" np. rolnicze"

Fête is a French word meaning festival, party, holiday or even birthday (as in "bonne fête" being an equivalent to "happy birthday"), which has passed into English as a label that may be given to certain events. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fête

: to samo co festival, a chodzi nam o kiermasz. Francuskie "fete" to angielskie "party"

Przez "fest" miałem na myśli coś w rodzaju "festynu", lub francuskiego "fête"

Discussion
To me, a "fair" is something with attractions, rides, etc. (e.g. a State Fair or an employee health fair), whereas a "bazaar" implies selling-related activies. Although things are often also sold at a fair, it's not the main focus.
Again, I imagine the usage may be different in the UK, AU, etc., but that's the difference here in the US.
