About The Fair

Hello and welcome to the 105th Vanderburgh County Fair

The county fair is a week that many of us look forward to each year, as it is a time to showcase our event. From the many Grandstand shows, 4-H/Open Class shows and activities, carnival rides, and the variety of foods. With our Fair bringing in thousands of guests throughout the week, our theme “Celebrating 250 th AMERICA” will focus on our great nation and the freedoms we enjoy.

• The United States Semiquincentennial, also called the Bisesquicentennial, the Sestercentennial, or the Quarter Millennium, will be the 250th anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence. Festivities will mark various events leading up to the Declaration's anniversary on the 250th Independence Day: July 4, 2026.
• The America250 initiative is an event that aims to engage every American in Commemorating the signing of the Declaration of Independence
• A 250 th Anniversary Parade is planned for Washington, D.C., and includes a Great American State Fair on the National Mall

This year’s theme will help us achieve our mission to Educate, Exhibit, and Entertain. We hope everyone enjoys the Vanderburgh County Fair and learns something new that will help each of us in living better, more productive lives.

Special thanks to all of our volunteers who help make our Fair one of the best in the State!
