About Ware County Fair

Ware County is the gateway to the Okefenokee Swamp — one of the largest freshwater wetlands in North America and a National Wildlife Refuge of extraordinary biodiversity — where Waycross serves as the commercial hub of the Southeast Georgia Wiregrass region and the county's timber, turpentine, and railroad heritage runs deep.

What to Expect

Livestock and agricultural competitions, 4-H and FFA exhibits, carnival midway, live entertainment, fair food, and community activities drawing from Ware County's position as the commercial center of the southeast Georgia swamplands region.

Visitor Tips

Waycross is the Ware County seat on US-1/US-84 — the Okefenokee Swamp Park and the official NWR entrance are minutes away. Plan a swamp boat tour before or after the fair for one of the Southeast's most unforgettable nature experiences.
