Come to the Fair!

What would summer be without a county fair? We have one of the best right here in Albemarle County at the Fair Grounds in North Garden, VA.

Beginning on Tuesday, August 1 with the arrival of 4-H livestock, right through Sunday, August 6 and the last turn of the Ferris wheel, you’ll find everything you could want to make your summer celebration special.

We have traditional county fair events like the livestock and poultry judging, fruit and vegetable competitions, and home arts displays and contests. The cakes and pies are always popular, and you will see some of the finest examples of needlework and quilting.

Looking for something fun and different? We have that, too. Come for the bubblegum blowing and hula-hoop contests, but be sure to stay and hear how we call turkeys, hogs, and husbands! And of course, we will crown a new Miss Albemarle County Fair as part of this annual celebration.

Go to the County Fair website for all the information including a complete schedule of events. Then pack up the family and head for the fair – a summer tradition of farm, food and fun.
