About Calhoun County Fair

The Calhoun County Fair in Grantsville celebrates one of West Virginia's smallest and most rural counties — a Little Kanawha River county where oil and gas production, timber, and subsistence farming have sustained communities for generations in a county with no traffic lights and a population under 7,000.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, local arts and crafts, traditional mountain music, local food vendors, and the authentic Appalachian community spirit of one of West Virginia's most genuinely rural counties.

Visitor Tips

Grantsville is the tiny county seat in the forested hills of central West Virginia. The Little Kanawha River provides fishing and the surrounding forests offer hunting. The Calhoun County area is among the least developed and most traditionally Appalachian communities in the state.
