76th Fairfax County 4-H Fair
July 30 - August 2, 2026
Bring the whole crew out to the Annual 4-H Fair at Frying Pan Farm Park. 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.
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.
Public entries are also welcomed! Look for 'Open' Entry Departments in the Catalog.
Entry Registration is OPEN! June 1 - July 15

Educational Community Tables Update
While we will continue to offer experiential learning opportunities, due to unforeseen circumstances, we must pause our traditional educational community tables for organizations for 2026. We value the partnerships we have build with our community organizations over the years and are hopeful to have you back again in 2027.
In the meantime, if you are not already on our contact list, please fill out our interest form.
Stage Acts Update
Due to unforeseen circumstances, we were unable to secure a stage for 2026. As a result, stage act performances will not be held this year.
We appreciate the interest and enthusiasm from our talented performers and community members. We look forward to bringing stage acts back in the future.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support of the fair! In the meantime, if you are not already on our contact list, please fill out our interest form.
