Defiance County Fair

About Defiance County Fair

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. Dating to 1845, it is one of Ohio's oldest and most enduring agricultural fair traditions. Harness racing is featured throughout the week.

What to Expect

Livestock shows, 4-H competitions, harness racing, carnival rides, and fair food fill the week.

Visitor Tips

Hicksville is a small agricultural community near the Indiana border — a classic small-town Ohio fair experience.
