A Tazewell Tradition

Rooted in Community

Tracing its roots to the Tazewell County Agricultural and Mechanical Society, incorporated in 1873 to establish and conduct fairs, the Tazewell County Fair has been a community tradition for more than 150 years, uniting neighbors as Virginia's longest continually running fair. Celebrate local agriculture and rural traditions with livestock, homegrown exhibits, hands-on demonstrations, thrilling rides, and plenty of delicious food. Gather your family and friends to create lasting memories at this beloved Virginia fair.


Help ensure the fair flourishes for generations to come. Volunteer, support local sponsors, or contribute through Friends of the Fair, our 501(c)(3) organization. Connect with us on Facebook for updates and ways to get involved.
