What to Know

The Ephrata Fair is a five-day September fair in the northern Lancaster County farmland, celebrating the agricultural and Pennsylvania German heritage of a community famous for its 18th-century Ephrata Cloister religious community.

Before You Go

Ephrata is home to the Ephrata Cloister, one of America's earliest communal religious societies — the Green Dragon Farmers Market (one of Pennsylvania's largest) and the surrounding Lancaster County farmland are also nearby.
