About Roane County United Way Fair

Roane County sits at the heart of East Tennessee's nuclear landscape, adjacent to Oak Ridge — the Secret City that built the atomic bomb during WWII — while Watts Bar Lake provides recreation on the Tennessee River and the county's farming communities maintain an agricultural fair tradition that predates the Nuclear Age.

What to Expect

Livestock and agricultural competitions, 4-H and FFA exhibits, carnival rides, grandstand entertainment, and fair food celebrating Roane County's Tennessee River farming heritage in the shadow of Oak Ridge's nuclear legacy.

Visitor Tips

Kingston is the Roane County seat on Watts Bar Lake. The American Museum of Science and Energy in Oak Ridge tells the full story of the Manhattan Project — one of the most extraordinary chapters in American history, just minutes away.
