Bedford County Fair Overview

The Bedford County Fair is a late-August fair in the Blue Ridge foothills of central Virginia, celebrating the agricultural heritage of a county nestled between the Peaks of Otter and the shores of Smith Mountain Lake.

Highlights

Visitors can look forward to livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, local food vendors, and a friendly fair atmosphere in the scenic foothills between the Blue Ridge Mountains and Virginia's largest inland lake.

Good to Know

Bedford County is home to the National D-Day Memorial in the town of Bedford, which suffered the highest D-Day casualty rate per capita of any American community — Smith Mountain Lake and the Peaks of Otter on the Blue Ridge Parkway are also here.
