State Fair of West Virginia

Location/County: Fairlea, Greenbrier
August 14, 2015 — August 23, 2015

In 1854, the Greenbrier Agricultural Society began organizing and having an annual fair where agricultural accomplishments could be displayed. Declared the State Fair by the legislature in 1941, it continues today with new excitement, new shows and the same feeling of being at an old time event. The 2015 State Fair themed “It Feels Like Fun. It Feels Like Fair”, is a 10-day Fair scheduled August 14-23, 2015. Visit the State Fair website for calendar of events, entertainment and tickets.
