About Dukes County Fair

The Dukes County Fair in West Tisbury celebrates Martha's Vineyard — the famous island county that draws celebrities, presidents, and summer visitors from around the world, while year-round islanders maintain their agricultural traditions of sheep farming, fishing, and market gardening in a community that predates summer tourism by centuries.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, sheep shearing demonstrations, local food vendors with island-grown produce and fresh seafood, artisan crafts, and a fair celebrating the year-round agricultural community of Martha's Vineyard.

Visitor Tips

Martha's Vineyard's Edgartown, Vineyard Haven, and Oak Bluffs are iconic New England destinations. The island's agricultural fair at the West Tisbury Fairgrounds is one of the best ways to experience the year-round community behind the summer resort facade.
