About Pike County Fair
The Pike County Fair in Pikeville is one of eastern Kentucky's major summer events, serving the largest county in Kentucky by area. Pikeville is a surprisingly vibrant small city with one of Appalachia's most remarkable infrastructure projects — the Pikeville Cut-Through that rerouted a mountain, a river, and a railroad simultaneously.
What to Expect
Livestock competitions, 4-H and FFA exhibits, carnival rides, live entertainment, fair food, and community programming.
