About Tolland County Fair

The Tolland County Fair in Rockville celebrates northeast Connecticut's "Quiet Corner" — Tolland County's dairy farms, apple orchards, and university communities (including the University of Connecticut at Storrs) gather at a fair celebrating the agricultural traditions of a county that has remained more rural than Connecticut's densely developed southwest.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, apple and orchard exhibits, dairy displays, local food vendors, and a community fair drawing from UConn's Storrs campus community and the county's farming families.

Visitor Tips

Storrs is home to the University of Connecticut — the flagship state university with its celebrated Huskies basketball program. The Quiet Corner's antiques shops, farm stands, and the Natchaug State Forest trails reflect a Connecticut that predates the suburban development of the coastal corridor.
