On the Midway
Expect 4-H and community exhibits, local food vendors, arts and crafts, live entertainment, and a free-admission fair that brings together the diverse communities of one of the nation's most densely populated counties.
What to Know
The Arlington County Fair is a five-day August celebration in one of America's most urban counties, where the traditions of a county fair meet the cosmopolitan energy of a community directly across the Potomac from Washington, D.C.
Before You Go
Arlington sits directly across from Washington, D.C. and is steps from the National Mall, the Pentagon, Arlington National Cemetery, and the entire Smithsonian museum system — the fair is a perfect anchor for a D.C. area visit.
