About Culpeper County Fair

The Culpeper County Fair in northern Virginia's Piedmont celebrates a county that served as a major Civil War crossroads — Culpeper was occupied multiple times by both armies and witnessed the cavalry battles of Brandy Station and Cedar Mountain. Today it's a growing exurban county with active farming communities.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, carnival rides, local food vendors, and a fair that draws from both the farming traditions of the Virginia Piedmont and the growing population of northern Virginia's outer suburbs.

Visitor Tips

Culpeper's downtown has been revitalized in recent years and features excellent restaurants and shops. Brandy Station battlefield, Cedar Mountain battlefield, and the Museum of Culpeper History tell the Civil War story, while the Virginia Piedmont wine region surrounds the county.
