About Botetourt County Fair
The Botetourt County Fair in Fincastle celebrates a Shenandoah Valley county with deep Virginia history — Botetourt County was once so large it covered what is now Kentucky and Ohio, and Fincastle served as the gateway through which Daniel Boone and other early settlers pushed west into the wilderness.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, carnival rides, local food vendors, and a community fair set in the lush James River valley between the Blue Ridge and Alleghany mountains.
