About Monroe County Fair

The Monroe County Fair in Union celebrates the most southeasterly West Virginia county in the Allegheny highlands where Salt Sulphur Springs and other mineral springs once drew 19th-century resort guests, and where the county's limestone farmland in the Sweet Springs valley produces cattle and timber in one of the state's most historically significant agricultural counties.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, local food vendors, and a fair drawing from the Sweet Springs valley farming communities of this rural Monroe County.

Visitor Tips

Union's historic courthouse and the county's extraordinary collection of pre-Civil War farmhouses reflect one of West Virginia's most architecturally rich rural landscapes. Moncove Lake State Park and the Allegheny highlands provide recreation.
