About the Fairgrounds
The Fairfield County Fairgrounds, located at 157 E. Fair Avenue in Lancaster, Ohio, welcomes visitors throughout the year and serves as a hub of activity for a wide range of events. While the fairgrounds is renowned for hosting the annual Fairfield County Fair each October—the final county fair of the season in Ohio—its calendar is filled with a diverse array of happenings that cater to various interests.
One of the regular events that draws crowds to the fairgrounds during the warmer months is the Old Fashioned Farmers Market. Held every Saturday morning from 8 am to 12 pm, the market showcases the bounty of the region, with vendors offering fresh, locally grown produce, vibrant flowers, cuts of meat, and an assortment of plants. Visitors can also find a variety of homemade and farm-produced goods, making it a perfect destination to stock up on fresh, seasonal ingredients and support local producers.
Beyond the fair and the farmers market, the Fairfield County Fairgrounds serves as a versatile venue for numerous other events throughout the year. These can include livestock shows, horse shows, craft fairs, flea markets, antique shows, car shows, concerts, festivals, and more. The fairgrounds’ facilities, including its various buildings, arenas, and outdoor spaces, can accommodate both large and small gatherings, making it a popular choice for event organizers in the region.
