About Craig County Fair

The Craig County Fair in New Castle celebrates one of Virginia's smallest and most rural counties, nestled in the Alleghany Highlands where Craig Creek runs through a narrow valley and the county's few thousand residents maintain mountain farming traditions amid some of the most unspoiled scenery in western Virginia.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, local crafts, and the genuine small-county community spirit of a place where nearly every resident knows every other — Craig County is one of the least populated counties east of the Mississippi River.

Visitor Tips

Craig County is nearly entirely within the Jefferson National Forest. The Craig Creek Valley offers excellent trout fishing and hiking, and the county's sparse development means its night skies are among the darkest on the East Coast.
