About Rich Valley Fair
The Smyth County Fair in Marion celebrates the Middle Fork of the Holston River valley where southwest Virginia's agricultural communities gather — Smyth County's farms, orchards, and livestock operations in the Clinch and Holston river watersheds have supported these mountain communities for over two centuries.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, local food vendors, and the genuine Appalachian mountain fair atmosphere of a county where the Blue Ridge Highlands and the Tennessee border define the landscape.
Visitor Tips
Marion is a compact county seat at the heart of southwest Virginia's Appalachian Trail corridor. Mount Rogers National Recreation Area — containing Virginia's highest peak — is accessible from Smyth County, and Hungry Mother State Park is one of Virginia's oldest state parks.
