Ashtabula County Fair Overview

Jefferson's Ashtabula County Fair serves Ohio's northeasternmost and largest county by land area. Founded in 1851, it stands as one of Ohio's most enduring agricultural fair traditions. It draws from a region with strong agricultural roots shaped by its proximity to Lake Erie and the Pennsylvania border. A harness racing card is part of the week's schedule.
