About Halifax County Fair

The Halifax County Fair in Southside Virginia celebrates one of the state's leading tobacco-growing counties, where the old tobacco auction tradition has given way to modern contract farming but the county's agricultural fairs and community gatherings remain central to rural life along the Roanoke River.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, tobacco heritage exhibits, carnival rides, local food vendors, and a fair that has drawn Southside Virginia farming families together for generations.

Visitor Tips

Halifax is a quiet county seat in the Virginia tobacco belt. Buggs Island Lake (Kerr Reservoir) forms the southern border of the county and is one of Virginia's most popular fishing and boating destinations — the reservoir straddles the Virginia-North Carolina line and covers over 50,000 acres.
