About Sussex County Fair
The Sussex County Fair in Southside Virginia celebrates a Blackwater River county where peanuts, soybeans, and hogs have defined the agricultural economy for generations — Sussex County is part of Virginia's peanut belt, and the county's farming communities gather each fall for a fair that reflects the rhythms of this agricultural landscape.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, peanut and agricultural exhibits, local food vendors, and the friendly small-county atmosphere of a Southside Virginia peanut country fair.
Visitor Tips
Sussex County sits between Petersburg and Emporia on I-95. The Blackwater River provides fishing and canoeing, and the county is within easy reach of both the Petersburg National Battlefield and the rural charms of the Southside Virginia countryside.
