About Abbeville County Fair

Abbeville County holds a singular place in Confederate history — the secession convention that launched South Carolina out of the Union in 1860 was organized here, and Jefferson Davis held his last full cabinet meeting in Abbeville in May 1865, earning the town its designation as both the "Birthplace and Deathbed of the Confederacy" in this small Upstate Piedmont county.

What to Expect

Livestock and agricultural shows, 4-H and FFA exhibits, carnival rides, community food vendors, and local entertainment celebrating Abbeville County's Upstate farming heritage and its complex place in Southern history.

Visitor Tips

Abbeville is the county seat in rural Upstate SC. The Abbeville Opera House downtown is one of South Carolina's finest small-town theaters — a beautiful complement to the agricultural fair in this historically significant community.
