About Hartford County Fair
The Hartford County Fair celebrates Connecticut's capital county — Hartford is the "Insurance Capital of the World" and one of America's oldest cities, and the county's agricultural communities in the Connecticut River valley's tobacco and dairy belt come together at a fair serving New England's most historically significant capital region.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, tobacco shade and Connecticut Valley agricultural exhibits, local food vendors, carnival rides, and a fair drawing from the greater Hartford metro area.
Visitor Tips
Hartford's Mark Twain House, Harriet Beecher Stowe Center, Wadsworth Atheneum (America's oldest public art museum), and the Connecticut State Capitol define a city of extraordinary cultural wealth. The Connecticut River Valley's shade tobacco fields — grown under white cloth canopies — are a unique agricultural landscape.
