“If you’ve seen one fair you’ve seen them all.” Does that sound like something you’d say? If so, then you’ve never been to the Sullivan County Fair. The unique combination of local flavor, fun-filled events, and spectacular natural beauty makes this annual celebration truly one-of-a-kind. Here’s a quick look at the events and attractions you can expect to see when you join us next year.
Contests, Concerts and More
Here in the country we’re used to making our own kind of fun. That’s why, when you attend next year’s fair, you and your family will enjoy the best our area has to offer. Here are some examples:
- What do you get when you combine the raw fury of a giant diesel engine with the excitement and challenge of an auto race? Answer: you get a tractor pull, the ultimate test of both nerves and horsepower. Here in Sullivan County we go all-out for this annual contest, to the delight of hundreds of cheering, fired-up fans.
- What’s your favorite type of music? Is it rock, country, pop, or something else? Whatever it is, you’ll have a chance to enjoy it live at next year’s festival, thanks to the many excellent musicians that grace our stages each year. Even better, concerts are FREE for all who visit the fair!
- Imagine cars of all types smashing into one another at full speed, each driver doing his best to knock the others out of commission. Now imagine a capacity crowd loving every second of this spectacle. Can you see yourself among them? If so, then you must be with us next year for the annual show-‘em-no-mercy demolition derby.
Rides and Games Galore
There’s no such thing as an “average” Ferris wheel or roller coaster; not when it’s surrounded by the majesty of our endless mountains. Whether you prefer your rides easy and relaxing or hold-onto-the-seat-of-your-pants exciting, you’ll find the thrill you’re looking for. And don’t forget the classic games that make every fair complete. You’ll have endless chances to test both your luck and your skill at the Sullivan County Fair.
A Real Taste of Life on the Farm
Not everything at our annual fair moves 100 miles a minute. You and your family will have plenty of opportunities for enrichment and education, thanks to events and displays like these:
- Animal dressing contests.

- Homemade pie and ice cream tasting contests.
