St. Mary's County Fair
September 24-27
The St. Mary’s County Fair has grown into annual 4-day agriculturally oriented event with an attendance of 50,000. The County Fair's mission is to improve agriculture, increase public awareness of the agricultural community in our area, and education of the general populace on agricultural and home arts skills. In a more practical view, the Fair offers the public a chance to see a cow up close, eat candy cotton, learn about 4-H livestock projects, ride a Ferris wheel, listen to gospel music, feel the pride of wining a blue ribbon on a chocolate cake and learn the best technique for canning grape jelly.
