A Closer Look

Every year, Smethport hosts the McKean County Fair, which is a week-long mid-August fair in the Allegheny plateau oil country of northwestern Pennsylvania, celebrating the farming and energy heritage of a county at the headwaters of the Allegheny River.

Planning Your Visit

Smethport is the historic county seat of McKean County — the Allegheny National Forest, the Kane area's DCNR recreation, and the Kinzua Dam and Allegheny Reservoir are within easy reach.

Fair Highlights

Typical offerings include livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, carnival rides, local food vendors, and a fair in the heart of the Allegheny National Forest and Pennsylvania's original oil region.
