About Lincoln County Fair
The Lincoln County Fair in Stanford is one of Kentucky's earliest-season county fairs, running from late June through Independence Day week. Stanford is the seat of Lincoln County in the heart of the Bluegrass region, and the fair is a beloved early-summer tradition for central Kentucky families.
What to Expect
Livestock competitions, 4-H and FFA exhibits, carnival rides, live entertainment, and fair food. The fair's late-June timing makes it a great way to kick off fair season in the Bluegrass.
Visitor Tips
Stanford is on US-150 about 35 miles south of Lexington. Lincoln County is named for President Lincoln's family, who lived in the area before moving to Illinois.
