The 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.[1] It is claimed that the memory of a pretty girl he had seen at an earlier fair inspired the composition.[citation needed]
