About Clarke County Fair

Clarke County is anchored by Athens — home to the University of Georgia (founded 1785, the first chartered state university in the nation), the Classic City music scene that spawned R.E.M. and the B-52s, and a vibrant downtown that makes Athens one of the South's most culturally dynamic college towns.

What to Expect

Livestock and agricultural shows, 4-H exhibits, carnival midway, live entertainment, fair food, and community activities serving the Athens-Clarke County community of students, longtime residents, and farming families.

Visitor Tips

Athens is the Clarke County seat about 70 miles northeast of Atlanta. The downtown music venues, the Georgia Museum of Art, and the UGA campus are all worth exploring alongside the county fair in this lively college city.
