Richland County Fair

Since 1849, the Richland County Fair has been committed to our mission, “to enhance Richland County through an annual celebration promoting agriculture, education, entertainment and encouraging positive youth development and leadership skills.” Each summer, the public is welcomed with open arms into our fairgrounds, where we hope to provide them with a joyful experience filled with all of the famed sights, sounds and smells the fair has to offer. With opportunities for rides, fair food, Grandstand entertainment, livestock shows and more, the fair has something for all ages and personalities. 

Along with our dedication to the community, we also have a strong commitment to our youth. We seek to provide a wholesome and enjoyable educational experience for the youth of our community through Richland County Junior Fair Livestock Programs. These programs offer valuable life lessons through the process of raising and caring for livestock. The unique opportunities presented through caring for livestock help to teach lifelong lessons of hard work, commitment and dedication to the future leaders of our world. We believe in the work of our youth and we look forward to providing these individuals with an opportunity to display the countless hours they have put into their animals.  

While we take great pride in our annual fair, we are also proud to serve as a year-round event facility, hosting events such as auctions and bingo regularly throughout the year. Our facilities can also be rented for private events such as weddings. Individuals or groups who wish to rent the Richland County Fairgrounds, part of the grounds, or specific buildings can contact 419.747.3717 for rates, regulations and scheduling. 

The Richland County Fair, rooted in its deep ties with the community, looks forward to seeing the many familiar and new faces roaming the grounds each summer. This year, join us for the 2020 Richland County Fair August 9th through August 15th.
