About New Castle County Fair
The New Castle County Fair in Wilmington celebrates Delaware's most populous county — Wilmington is the "Corporate Capital of the World" (most Fortune 500 companies are incorporated in Delaware), and the county's agricultural communities in the Brandywine and Christina river valleys come together at a fair honoring the farming heritage of Delaware's northernmost county.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, carnival rides, local food vendors, and a community fair drawing from the greater Wilmington metro area and the county's remaining farming communities.
Visitor Tips
Wilmington's Brandywine Museum of Art (housing the largest Wyeth collection in the world), Hagley Museum on the former DuPont gunpowder mills, and Nemours Estate reflect the county's extraordinary industrial and artistic heritage. Longwood Gardens across the Pennsylvania border is one of the world's great horticultural displays.
