About Essex County Fair
The Essex County Fair in Newark celebrates New Jersey's most densely populated and historically significant county — Newark is New Jersey's largest city and one of America's most important transportation and manufacturing hubs, and Essex County's agricultural heritage lives on in the county's park system and the farming traditions honored at an urban county fair.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, carnival rides, live entertainment, diverse local food vendors reflecting Newark's multicultural community, and a large fair drawing from one of the New York metro area's most populous counties.
Visitor Tips
Newark's Prudential Center, Newark Museum of Art, and Newark Liberty International Airport define a city that has reinvented itself as a transportation and cultural hub. The South Mountain Reservation and Eagle Rock Reservation in the Watchung Mountains provide Essex County with exceptional natural spaces close to the urban core.
