About Brooke County Fair

The Brooke County Fair in Wellsburg celebrates West Virginia's smallest county by area — a narrow Ohio River panhandle county sandwiched between Ohio and Pennsylvania where steel and chemical industries defined the 20th-century economy, and where the agricultural communities of this northern panhandle gather at a fair with connections to the broader Ohio River valley heritage.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and the community spirit of a northern West Virginia panhandle fair along the Ohio River.

Visitor Tips

Wellsburg is the county seat of one of West Virginia's most densely developed counties despite its tiny size. The Ohio River's working industrial heritage, the historic downtown, and the proximity to Wheeling and Pittsburgh define a county shaped by heavy industry and commerce rather than Appalachian farming traditions.
