About Scott County Fair
The Scott County Fair in Gate City celebrates the agricultural heritage of far southwest Virginia's Scott County, where the Powell River valley and the Clinch Mountain ridges frame farming communities that have maintained their Appalachian traditions through generations of economic change in the coalfield region.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, local food, mountain crafts, and the Appalachian community spirit of a county bordering both Tennessee and Kentucky at the tip of Virginia's narrow southwestern wedge.
Visitor Tips
Gate City is the county seat at Virginia's southwestern corner. Natural Tunnel State Park — where a natural railroad tunnel carved through 900 feet of solid limestone by Stock Creek — is one of Virginia's most spectacular geological attractions and is located in Scott County.
