About The Fair

OUR MISSION


The Vanderburgh County Fair Association is a non-profit organization that has provided an annual family oriented event as a service to Vanderburgh County since 1920. The fair is presented by the community for the community. The Vanderburgh County Fair is a place to present the progressive strides of excellence in agriculture, the creativity of people and ingenuity of industry. Our objectives and purpose is to educate, exhibit, and entertain.

PROTECT WHAT MATTERS

Hello and welcome to the 102nd Vanderburgh County Fair! 


At the Fair, we all love to do our thing, but sometimes doing what we love can be dangerous or stressful. Working with animals and large equipment can be very dangerous. Often we encounter dangerous situations in areas we least expect it. Navigating life's dangers can be challenging at times.  This year we are focusing on safety in all that we do. No one wants their life to be put on hold because of something that was preventable. We all want to have fun while doing what we love to do. Our health and safety for ourselves and those we love should be at the top of our list. Our theme, Protect What Matters, will focus on the health and safety of all those who come to enjoy the Fair. 


This year’s theme will help us to achieve our mission to Educate, Exhibit, and Entertain. We hope that everyone enjoys the Vanderburgh County Fair and learns something new that will help each of us in living better, more productive lives. We are excited to have you and to learn from you as well. Be sure to stop by the Auditorium on Thursday from 3 to 6 p.m. and check out all our exhibits to help everyone have a safe and productive life. 


We have some new exciting additions to the Fair this year! Come check out the Quack Pack USA, we have “herd” it is a great show! We also have a great new agriculture learning experience called The Wheels of Agriculture.  Our full schedule of events can be found under the Fair Info tab on the website!

Special thanks to our many volunteers who make our fair one of the best in the state!
