About Allendale County Fair

Allendale County is one of South Carolina's most rural and economically challenged counties, yet it holds one of the most significant archaeological sites in North America — the Topper Site on the Savannah River, where stone tools dated as far back as 50,000 years ago challenge conventional theories about when humans first arrived in the Americas.

What to Expect

Livestock and agricultural shows, 4-H exhibits, carnival rides, community food vendors, and local entertainment celebrating Allendale County's Lowcountry farming heritage and its extraordinary archaeological significance.
