State Fair of West Virginia

August 13 - 22, 2026

The State Fair of WV is chock-full of festivities from livestock shows, craft exhibits and competitions to amazing food vendors, carnival rides and music concerts!

For a century, this wonderful event has been bringing families and friends together along with visitors from across the country to take in and celebrate our beloved Mountain State's rich heritage, vibrant culture and agricultural traditions.

Just about everyone can attest to a favorite fair tradition that lures them back year after year. Maybe it’s the Ferris wheel as it spins, taking its riders up, up, up and around. Some are all about the food, making a special trip just for Ben Ellen doughnuts, fresh corn on the cob or a Cattleman’s steak sandwich. Of course, some hold out for the evening entertainment, midway lights and live musical acts.

The 2026 State Fair of West Virginia is scheduled for August 13-22, 2026. Mark your calendars now and we'll see you at the Fair!
