4-H County Fair
The 2026 Orleans County 4-H Fair is July 27 to August 1 and brings family fun for people throughout WNY.
Admission
All admissions are sold as unlimited week long admission for $10 per person. Ages 6 and under are free. Parking is also free. Admission is free for veterans and seniors 65+.
Livestock Auction
The 4-H livestock sale is where 4-H youth who are participating in market animal projects sell their project animal or fiber and fiber products. The proceeds of each sale go to the individual 4-H members. Many of these young people put their sale earnings toward college, in addition to using the money to offset the costs of raising their animals and purchase a new market animal for the next year.
Vendor & Exhibitor Information
We're always looking for vendors and commercial exhibits to join in the fun. With an average of 25,000 fairgoers the fair is a great place to reconnect with people and meet new ones.
