York State Fair

About York State Fair

The York State Fair is one of Pennsylvania's premier county fairs, a ten-day late-July through August celebration drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors to the York Fairgrounds — one of the oldest and grandest fair venues in the commonwealth. Dating to 1765, it is one of Pennsylvania's oldest and most enduring agricultural fair traditions.

What to Expect

Expect major grandstand concerts, championship livestock shows, carnival rides, harness racing, demolition derby, 4-H and FFA competitions, agricultural machinery exhibits, and a full fair midway at the historic York Fairgrounds.

Visitor Tips

York is one of Pennsylvania's most historic cities — the Colonial Complex, the Harley-Davidson Museum and factory tour, and the Mason-Dixon Trail are local highlights; the Susquehanna River and the Pennsylvania Dutch country are nearby.
