A Closer Look
West Friendship's Howard County Fair is an eight-day August celebration in one of the wealthiest counties in America, where the agricultural heritage of the Piedmont persists amid suburban growth.
Planning Your Visit
Howard County is between Baltimore and Washington and consistently ranks among America's highest-income counties — the fair's agricultural roots are a meaningful counterpoint to its tech-corridor reputation.
Fair Highlights
Expect livestock judging, 4-H and FFA competitions, carnival rides, grandstand entertainment, and the community spirit of a county that bridges Baltimore and Washington suburbs.
