About Providence County Fair

The Providence County Fair celebrates Rhode Island's most populous county and the capital city — Providence is home to Brown University, RISD, and one of America's most vibrant food scenes, and the county's farming communities in the Blackstone River valley come together at a fair honoring the agricultural heritage of the state's urban core county.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, carnival rides, local food vendors, and a diverse community fair drawing from the greater Providence metro area and the county's farming families in the northern Blackstone Valley.

Visitor Tips

Providence's WaterFire installation, Federal Hill Italian neighborhood, the Rhode Island School of Design Museum, and Brown University's College Hill reflect one of America's most culturally rich small cities. The Blackstone River Bikeway connects Providence to Woonsocket through historic mill villages.
