About Union County Fair (Discontinued)
The Union County Fair in Elizabeth celebrates New Jersey's smallest county — one of the original four counties of New Jersey, Elizabeth was the state's first colonial capital, and the county's suburban communities, The Mall at Short Hills, and the Arthur Kill industrial waterfront reflect the extraordinary economic diversity compressed into one of America's most densely settled counties.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, carnival rides, local food vendors, and a fair drawing from Union County's diverse suburban and urban communities.
Visitor Tips
Elizabeth's colonial heritage as New Jersey's first capital is honored at the Boxwood Hall State Historic Site. Watching Reservation in the Watchung Mountains provides the county's main open space, and the county's proximity to Newark Airport makes it one of the most logistically central counties in the northeastern United States.
