About Surry County Fair
The Surry County Fair on the south bank of the James River celebrates a Tidewater Virginia county famous for Surry ham — a distinctively cured Virginia ham product that has been a regional delicacy since colonial times — and for its view of Jamestown across the James River from the Surry ferry landing.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, Surry ham and peanut vendors, local crafts, and a community fair rooted in the agricultural traditions of a county that has fed Virginia for over 400 years.
Visitor Tips
Surry County's Jamestown Ferry connects to Historic Jamestowne across the James River. The historic Chippokes Plantation State Park — one of the oldest continuously farmed plantations in North America — and Surry Nuclear Power Station are the county's two most notable landmarks.
