Hawaii County Fair (Discontinued) Overview
In Hilo, the Hawaii County Fair was historically a four-day October celebration on the Big Island's rainy eastern shore, the oldest county fair in Hawaii serving the diverse agricultural communities of the world's most volcanically active island. It has not run since 2019, with organizers citing funding and shipping costs for carnival equipment as barriers to a revival.
Good to Know
Hilo is on the wet side of the Big Island near Hawaii Volcanoes National Park — the active Kilauea and Mauna Loa volcanoes, the stunning Waipio Valley, and the Big Island's extraordinary agricultural diversity make it unlike any other fair destination.
