The Albemarle County Fair Board presents the 2025 Albemarle County Fair. There’s something pretty incredible about county fairs, their communities, and the youth who grow up alongside it all.

Our little county fair is much more than a showcase of rural American life. It’s a building block of our community, our futures, and a part of humanity’s best. The hard work and dedication involved giving meaning to Thomas Jefferson’s iconic words: “Agriculture is our wisest pursuit because it will, in the end, contribute most to real wealth, good morals, and happiness.”

This year’s fair attractions will include live music, a Livestock Show, and Home Art displays. Click below for times and details.
