About Barnwell County Fair

Barnwell County is adjacent to the Savannah River Site — the massive Department of Energy nuclear facility on the Georgia border that processed nuclear materials during and after the Cold War — while the county's farming communities of tobacco, cotton, and timber have sustained an agricultural identity distinct from its nuclear neighbor.

What to Expect

Livestock and agricultural shows, 4-H exhibits, carnival rides, community food vendors, and local entertainment celebrating Barnwell County's farming heritage in the South Carolina Lowcountry.

Visitor Tips

Barnwell is the county seat near the Savannah River Site. The historic Barnwell courthouse and the county's role in South Carolina's colonial and antebellum history make this a community of more depth than its quiet exterior suggests.
