About Summers County Fair

The Summers County Fair in Hinton celebrates the New River's most dramatic upstream canyon — Hinton sits at the confluence of the New River and the Greenbrier River, and the county's railroad heritage (Hinton was a major C&O Railway division point), the Bluestone River gorge, and the extraordinary Bluestone Lake State Park define a southern West Virginia county of remarkable natural beauty.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and a fair drawing from the New River and Greenbrier River valley communities.

Visitor Tips

Hinton's C&O Railway heritage is preserved at the local railroad museum. Bluestone Lake and Bluestone State Park offer water recreation below Hinton, and the confluence of the New and Greenbrier rivers defines one of the most spectacular river geography locations in the eastern United States.
