If you’re looking for a comprehensive guide to the best Pennsylvania fairs in 2025, you’re in the right place!
Growing up as a farm kid in western PA, I’ve been going to Pennsylvania fairs my entire life, but for those of you less familiar with the concept, I’ll give you a brief overview of what to expect at one of these celebrations of rural heritage.
If you’re already a seasoned fair veteran, scroll down to skip the overview and check out the Pennsylvania fairs schedule, arranged chronologically by months.
Or use this handy map I created to search by region, where you’ll find the name, dates, and official website link for each of more than 100 Pennsylvania fairs, all by simply clicking on the red stars.
What Goes on at a Pennsylvania Fair?
Since the founding of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1682, agriculture has been a major part of the state’s economy and social fabric.
Fairs began (and continue) as a way to celebrate the successes of the harvest season, through food, entertainment, and friendly competitions among rural Pennsylvanians.
If you want bragging rights for growing the biggest pumpkin, raising the the biggest pig, or baking the best cookies, the local fair is the place to put it all on the line!
Pennsylvania Fair Food
One of the great joys of attending a Pennsylvania fair is the food.
Throw your diet out the window and take a “cheat day”, because the variety of decadent fair foods is almost endless!
If it can be deep fried or dipped in chocolate, there’s a good chance you’ll find it at one of the “eat stands” at a Pennsylvania fair.
Livestock at a Pennsylvania Fair
You’ll find all sorts of livestock at a Pennsylvania fair, from baby bunnies to performing pigs!
Cows, horses, goats, sheep – there are plenty of opportunities to interact with familiar farm animals.
Some Pennsylvania fairs feature more exotic animals as well, like tiger shows and camel rides.
The Midway at a Pennsylvania Fair
The midway is where you’ll find the rides and games at a Pennsylvania fair.
The bigger the fair, the bigger the rides!
You’ll also find plenty of games for kids of all ages, where stuffed animals are often the prize of choice.
Walking the midway after dark is especially fun, as the colored lights add a whole new dimension to the spectacle.
