Find local county fairs throughout Cincinnati and Dayton, Ohio; Northern Kentucky; and Southeast Indiana
Summertime definitely means attending a county or state fair! Steeped with tradition, fairs are full of the sights and sounds of farm livestock, fast rides and carnival-style food and games. And we cannot forget entertainment like the demolition derby, monster truck shows and tractor pulls. Gardeners and cooks show off their best items at fairs, too, seeking a coveted blue ribbon from judges.
Fairs are listed by state and alphabetically by state and then county:
