It's a Family Affair!

Every September, the Charles County Fair Board puts on an old-fashioned county fair with farm animals, displays of all kinds, demonstrations, and food of various kinds.  Our county fair celebrates Charles County's long agricultural heritage and history.

   Located on 30 acres south of La Plata, we have exhibits as varied as livestock, field corn, quilts and flowers. These are shown in our Greens area. Over 6,000 exhibits were entered by the public in 2008. We have entertaiment, events, and activities for all ages. Four stages filled with games, shows, music, a baby show, pig races, and performers of all sorts add to the fun for the whole family. Our carnival midway is full of rides for all ages. New attractions for 2008 included Old MacDonald's Barn and the "Agricadabra" show!

Your support allows us to upgrade the fair and to pay for our annual 4th of July fireworks.  We also host

many affairs during the year such as lobster feasts, dog shows, tractor pulls, and family reunions.
 

We hope you will join us at the 86th Charles County Fair
for the best entertainment value around!
