State Fair of West Virginia

The State Fair of West Virginia is the quintessential summer activity. The offerings run from the agricultural to the acrobatic, in the largest multi-day celebration in West Virginia. The event constantly reinvents its successful formula with a new theme each year and new performances and exhibits. Each year features special ticketed performances by big name musical acts, which in past years have included the iconic country band, Alabama and popular Bluegrass singer, Allison Krauss. The free family entertainment also changes yearly with past popular acts featuring dare-devil motorcyclists, trained wolves, magic acts and wild tigers.

Many aspects of the fair are tried and true and are considered tradition by attendees such as the taste of a Ben Ellen doughnut, a ride on the Ferris wheel, a walk through the barns and the spectacle of the fireworks at night. Everyone is sure to find something to love in the great variety of food, rides, exhibits and family entertainment.
