About Jefferson County Fair
The Jefferson County Fair in Charles Town celebrates the Eastern Panhandle county where John Brown's 1859 raid on Harpers Ferry set the nation on the path to Civil War — Jefferson County's Shenandoah Valley limestone farmland, horse racing at Charles Town Races, and the extraordinary Harpers Ferry National Historical Park define a county where American history is lived daily.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, equestrian events reflecting the county's horse country heritage, local food vendors, and a fair drawing from the rapidly growing Eastern Panhandle.
Visitor Tips
Harpers Ferry National Historical Park preserves the confluence of the Shenandoah and Potomac rivers where John Brown's raid took place. Charles Town Races (now Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races) continues the county's horse racing tradition. The Appalachian Trail crosses the Potomac at Harpers Ferry.
