Welcome!
Welcome to the Fulton County Fair Association website! We’re thrilled to have you here and can’t wait for you to explore everything we offer.
Discover a wealth of information about our exciting events, including the renowned Fulton County Fair. Established in September 1919, the Fulton County Fair Association has a proud history of over 105 years, dedicated to providing wholesome fun and creating cherished memories for generations.
Our county fair is more than an annual highlight—it’s a cornerstone of community life, celebrating local talent and achievement. It promotes lifelong learning, personal growth, and community pride. A key aspect of our mission is supporting youth through various competitions and shows. These events teach valuable life skills, including responsibility, presentation skills, and interpersonal abilities. Participants gain confidence and a strong work ethic, preparing them for future endeavors.
County fairs like ours are vital for strengthening our community by uniting people and fostering connections across diverse backgrounds. This spirit of togetherness deepens local bonds and builds a shared sense of identity. We proudly host numerous events sponsored by local businesses, tailored for youth, seniors, and veterans, providing valuable educational opportunities through engaging exhibits.
Our fair also supports local businesses by drawing visitors and offering a platform for local artisans, vendors, and businesses to showcase their products. This boosts the local economy and fosters entrepreneurship by giving them exposure to a wider audience.
In addition to our flagship county fair, we host a variety of events throughout the year, including the Spring Junior Livestock Show, educational workshops, local markets, and cultural celebrations. Each event is designed to engage the community, offer unique experiences, and enhance the vibrancy of our fairgrounds. We also offer building and site rentals for private gatherings, corporate functions, or community events. Our versatile spaces can accommodate a range of needs and preferences.
If you have any questions or need more information, please reach out to us via phone, email, Facebook, or in person. We’re here to help and eager to ensure your experience is fantastic.
