About Lancaster County Fair

Lancaster County is the Upstate birthplace of Andrew Jackson — "Old Hickory," seventh president of the United States — in the Revolutionary War Waxhaws settlement, a region where Scots-Irish Presbyterian settlers fought brutal guerrilla battles against British forces in what historians have called the most vicious theater of the American Revolution.

What to Expect

Livestock and agricultural shows, 4-H and FFA exhibits, carnival rides, community food vendors, and local entertainment celebrating Lancaster County's Upstate farming heritage and its place in Andrew Jackson's origin story.

Visitor Tips

Lancaster is the county seat south of Charlotte. The Andrew Jackson State Park marks the general area of the president's birthplace — an interesting historical stop alongside the county fair in this Revolutionary War-rich region.
