Located less than 50 miles from Baltimore, and run by a non-profit organization, the Montgomery County Fairgrounds were set up in 1949 with just 12 buildings but now have 42 buildings. Originally agricultural shows used to be held here where farmers brought forth their best livestock and produce however, in recent years, a number of trade shows, art & craft festivals and private banquets have been held. Thousands of volunteers are hired to manage each event and look into details like house-keeping, security, administration, parking, catering etc.

We come to the Montgomery county fair every year. Usually in early evening just as it is getting dusk. The atmosphere if just great, light is usually wonderful for photos and it's busy but not too busy. There is so much to see and do and such a traditional American experience.
MoreI have loved going to the MC Agricultural Fair for decades, and still enjoy it. But, don't go on a weekend day or night- too chaotic... Love the 4H barns and the animals!
MoreBeautiful fair, with the local animals, and produce, ideal to take the children and explain a little bit of how we benefit from them.
MoreIt is great to be able to go to amusement park rides so close to home. Animals for kids to experience. Great unhealthy food - it doesn't get better.
MoreArrived early afternoon with my young children, it was amazing! Great food from fried Oreos, funnel cake, kettle popcorn to local restaurant vendors. My kids are picky but there was something for everyone! It was family friendly games, horse rides, and fair games. Kids had a blast on the rides, no one was left out even my toddler had rides for him. Great time! Can't wait for next year!
