About Wayne County Fair

Held annually in Wooster, the Wayne County Fair is one of Ohio's oldest, dating to 1818. With roots going back to 1818, it's among Ohio's oldest continuously held fairs. Set in the heart of Ohio's Amish country, the fair reflects the deep agricultural traditions of one of the state's top dairy counties. Harness racing draws a strong following at the fair.

What to Expect

Dairy cattle shows are the centerpiece — the competition is serious and draws exhibitors from across the region. 4-H programs are among the strongest in the state.
