Rockingham County Fair

The Rockingham County Fair is Virginia’s largest County Fair and is recognized as one of the leading agricultural fairs in the country!

The International Association of Fairs and Expositions has awarded the Fair 1st place for approximately 20 years with the “Overall Program” for Competitive Agricultural Exhibitors. Back again by popular demand is the BLM Rodeo Company Show. Watch riders on bucking bulls, see barrel racing and more. Big name music acts, tractor pulls, carnival rides, food of all sorts, pig races, petting zoo and tents and tents of home arts, amazing vegetables and animals all grown in the Shenandoah Valley make the Rockingham Fair one not to be missed! There are plenty of entertaining activities to choose from, with the only challenge being fitting everything in during your visit to the fair.
