About Hancock County Fair

The Hancock County Fair in New Cumberland celebrates West Virginia's northernmost county — the state's northern panhandle tip where the Ohio River, Weirton Steel's massive mill, and pottery manufacturing heritage define communities pressed between Ohio and Pennsylvania at the tristate corner.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and the community spirit of a northern panhandle fair where industrial and agricultural heritages meet.

Visitor Tips

Weirton's massive steel mill complex — once one of the largest in the world — defines the county's industrial character. Chester's Mountaineer Casino reflects the contemporary economy, and Rock Springs Park's amusement heritage reflects the Ohio River valley's working-class recreational traditions.
