Local societies and expert historians from across the Black Country will be on hand to help visitors explore the city's past at the free event.
Councillor Elias Mattu, Wolverhampton City Council's Cabinet Member for Leisure and Communities, said: "We know that local residents are fascinated by every aspect of Wolverhampton's heritage - its history, its industries and above all its people.
"Among the centrepieces of this year's Fair is our First World War exhibition, including the infamous White Feather letter. We'll also have a storyteller delivering sessions about the local suffragette, 'Red' Emma Sproson.
"To celebrate the Black Country Echoes festival, we've invited guests from the Black Country Living Museum, Claverley Local History Society and Willenhall History Museum, who'll help to put our history into a wider context.
"They'll be joined by representatives from the Birmingham Canal Navigations Society, the National Trust and the Western Front Association.
"As the Local History Fair has proved immensely popular in the past, it's a great opportunity for local groups and history societies to introduce themselves to new audiences and attract new members."
The Local History Fair will be held at Wolverhampton Archives and Local Studies' Molineux Hotel Building on Whitmore Hill from 10am-4pm and entry is free.
