Come out to Herndon, VA for four days of fresh air, farm fun, and good times for you, your family, friends, and neighbors. Watch livestock and see 4-H exhibits, enjoy delicious fair food, enter your own creations in the fair, and try your hand at milking a cow or goat. Don’t miss the carnival rides, games, and live entertainment.
4-H Fair Exhibits
Interested in entering items into the fair? The Fairfax County 4-H Fair is a wonderful avenue for 4-H youth to showcase their talents and exhibit their project work. Fairs contribute to life skill development by teaching young people sportsmanship, cooperation, leadership, time management, teamwork, responsibility, knowledge development, positive personal interrelationships, respect for self and others, and communication skills. And of course, 4-H members also have fun while they learn, achieve goals, and spend time with friends.
