About Wythe County Fair

The Wythe County Fair in Wytheville celebrates a New River Valley gateway county where I-77 and I-81 intersect — Wytheville has historically been Virginia's crossroads, and the county's lead and zinc mining past, livestock farming tradition, and Appalachian cultural heritage come together at a fair that draws from the greater New River region.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, local food vendors, carnival rides, and a well-attended fair serving the New River Valley communities of Wythe County and the surrounding region.

Visitor Tips

Wytheville's location at the I-77/I-81 interchange makes it the gateway to southwest Virginia. The Big Walker Lookout, Shot Tower Historical State Park, and the New River Trail State Park are all within the county or adjacent, and Wytheville has a charming restored downtown district.
