Before You Go
Hicksville is a small agricultural community near the Indiana border — a classic small-town Ohio fair experience.
What to Know
The Defiance County Fair is held in Hicksville — not the city of Defiance — serving the farming communities of far northwestern Ohio at the Indiana border. With roots going back to 1845, it's among Ohio's oldest continuously held fairs. Local harness racing fans turn out for the fair every year.
On the Midway
Livestock shows, 4-H competitions, harness racing, carnival rides, and fair food fill the week.
