About The Warren County Fair

The Warren County Fair is a family-oriented event that provides families in our community with a low-cost, safe, and fun environment to enjoy together. Our goal is to educate, entertain, stimulate, and challenge fairgoers. We offer music, motorsport events, pulling contests, animal shows, sensory friendly day, and a Monster truck event. Beyond fair week, we operate year-round with our indoor flea market and host various seasonal events including our popular Pickle Stock celebration. The fair also helps our young people gain knowledge, confidence, and leadership skills through various 4-H events, while our fairgrounds serve as a premier event rental venue for the Front Royal community.

The History of the Warren County Fair

In 1957, the Front Royal Jaycees put on the first Warren County Agricultural and Industrial Fair. It was held in an area of Front Royal, Virginia called "Viscose City" south of the American Viscose Plant, which is home to the Skyline Soccer Complex today. In 1960, the Jaycees purchased the land where the fairgrounds are located today: at the intersection of Route 340/522 and Fairgrounds Road. On March 18, 1987, the Front Royal Jaycees executed a deed of gift conveying the Front Royal Fairgrounds to the Warren County Fair Association, a non-profit community-based organization.
