About Greensville County Fair
The Greensville County Fair in Emporia celebrates a Southside Virginia county on the Meherrin River where peanuts, cotton, and timber have long defined the agricultural economy — Emporia is the self-proclaimed "Peanut Capital of the World," and the county's farming heritage runs deep in the sandy soils of the Coastal Plain.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, peanut exhibits, local food vendors with Southside Virginia cooking traditions, and a community fair rooted in the agricultural rhythms of the Virginia-North Carolina border country.
Visitor Tips
Emporia sits at the junction of I-95 and US-58 and serves as a gateway to the rural Southside. The Meherrin River State Park and Lake Gaston provide outdoor recreation nearby, and the county's peanut farms and processing facilities reflect its agricultural identity.
