About Barbour County Fair
The Barbour County Fair in Philippi is an eight-day late-August fair along the Tygart Valley River, celebrating the agricultural heritage of a county that witnessed the Civil War's first land battle at Philippi Bridge in 1861.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, carnival rides, live entertainment, and local food vendors celebrating Barbour County's farming traditions and deep historical roots.
Visitor Tips
Philippi's covered bridge, the oldest single-span covered bridge still in use on a U.S. federal highway, is a short walk from the fairgrounds — the Barbour County Historical Museum and the Alderson-Broaddus University campus are also nearby.
