As one of Virginia's longest continuing county fairs and Southwest Virginia's largest fair venues, the Virginia-Kentucky District Fair has proudly featured fun and excitement for all ages since 1913! Along with a week full of everyone's favorite carnival rides by Drew Exposition, the fair also offers something new and exciting daily! Whether it's the clashing and crashing of the Demolition Derby, a "Buckin Good Time" at the Bull Riding, the fun filled evenings of great Horse Shows, or a night spent enjoying concerts by chart topping musicians, the Virginia-Kentucky District Fair has something for you! The fair also presents a Talent Competition and the Miss Virginia-Kentucky District Fair Scholarship Pageant. McDonald's Farm is open daily featuring exhibits of agriculture, arts, crafts, needlework and clothing, home economics, and youth division exhibits. Kids Day provides a day of one-price rides for children under 12.
The Motocross Competition boasts a track that has up to 3 feet jumps and over 1500 feet long. A dirt bike, good tires and the need for speed and adrenaline will get you across the finish line! We offer a class for every rider!
The talent competition, pageant, and concerts are presented on a stage which many locals remember as the stage and fairground scene of the locally filmed, Hollywood hit "Coal Miner's Daughter."
The Bull Riding Event, hosted by GN Livestock & Bucking Bulls, is a fair favorite! With some of the meanest bulls around, it takes a real cowboy to hold on for 8 seconds!
The Demolition Derby is one of the most exciting events of the fair; offering heart-wrenching, edge of your seat excitement for all who dare to watch!
