Carbon County Fair (August 7-12)
Situated in the beautiful surroundings of Carbon County, Pennsylvania, the fair represents the spirit of the region's agricultural heritage. From livestock exhibitions to home and garden displays, it's a showcase of the county's farming roots and the rich, productive land it boasts. Cows, pigs, goats, chickens, and rabbits, many raised by local 4-H and FFA youth, vie for ribbons, while vibrant vegetables, blooming flowers, and homemade culinary delights compete for their own prizes.
Beyond the agricultural displays, the Carbon County Fair offers a wide range of activities for everyone to enjoy. There's no shortage of thrilling rides in the lively midway, filled with the lights and sounds of Ferris wheels, merry-go-rounds, and more. You can hear the delighted laughter of children as they navigate the fun houses or win prizes at various games of skill and chance.
