The Fair is celebrating 178 years providing family fun with an agricultural foundation.

The Caledonia County Fair is the oldest fair in Vermont. The fair is the result of hundreds of hours of volunteer work. This fair is run by the community, for the community.

The fair has many agricultural events such as animal shows and judging, maple sugar house, ox shows and pulling, horse pulling and many exhibits in Floral Hall. Additionally, the Caledonia County Fair has many popular events and entertainment- such as live music, truck pulls, demo derby and a Grand Cavalcade. The midway is provided by Dreamland Amusements and the rides are second to none. The Fairs rich history and traditions combined with modern entertainment provide the whole family with fun, great food and catching up with old friends. There is something for everyone to enjoy.
