About Schoharie County Fair
The Schoharie County Fair in Schoharie celebrates an agricultural valley county in the northern Catskills where hops farming defined the 19th-century economy — Schoharie County supplied much of America's hops for beer production before Prohibition, and today the valley's dairy farms, heritage hop yards, and the Catskills craft brewery revival honor this agricultural tradition. The area's broader history includes notable events and landmarks dating to 1772.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, hop and dairy exhibits, local craft beverage vendors, local food, and a fair celebrating the agricultural heritage of the Schoharie Valley.
Visitor Tips
Schoharie's Old Stone Fort Museum — a 1772 church turned Revolutionary War fortification — tells the story of the valley's role in the border war. Secret Caverns and Howe Caverns are major regional attractions, and the Catskills' craft beverage trail passes through the county.
