Good to Know
Highland County is famous for its Highland County Maple Festival each spring, but the September fair showcases the livestock heritage of these Allegheny farms — the George Washington National Forest and the Shenandoah Valley lie just east over the mountain.
Highlights
Visitors can look forward to livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, local crafts and maple products, and the mountain community spirit of Virginia's least-populated county, 3,000 feet above sea level.
Highland County Fair Overview
Every year, Monterey hosts the Highland County Fair, which is a September fair in Virginia's "Little Switzerland," the high-altitude county in the Allegheny Highlands where maple syrup production and livestock farming define a landscape unlike any other in the state.
