(357)

As one of Virginia’s longest continuing county fairs and Southwest Virginia’s largest fair venues, the Virginia-Kentucky District Fair has proudly featured fun and excitement for all ages since 1913! Whether it’s the clashing and crashing of the Demolition Derby, a "Buckin Good Time" at the Bull Riding, the fun filled evenings of great Horse Shows, or a night spent enjoying concerts by chart toppi

ng musicians, the Virginia-Kentucky District Fair has something for you! The fair also presents a Talent Competition and the Miss Virginia-Kentucky District Fair Scholarship Pageant. McDonald’s Farm is open daily featuring exhibits of agriculture, arts, crafts, needlework and clothing, home economics, and youth division exhibits. Kids Day provides a day of one-price rides for children under 12. The Motocross Competition boasts a track that has up to 3 feet jumps and over 1500 feet long. A dirt bike, good tires and the need for speed and adrenaline will get you across the finish line! We offer a class for every rider! The talent competition, pageant, and concerts are presented on a stage which many locals remember as the stage and fairground scene of the locally filmed, Hollywood hit “Coal Miner’s Daughter.”

The Bull Riding Event, hosted by GN Livestock & Bucking Bulls, is a fair favorite! With some of the meanest bulls around, it takes a real cowboy to hold on for 8 seconds! The Demolition Derby is one of the most exciting events of the fair; offering heart-wrenching, edge of your seat excitement for all who dare to watch! Our Horse Show features up to 30 classes, trophies and payouts are awarded to the top contestants in each class. All horses must have current negative coggins and a complete list of rules & regulations is provided on the fairs website www.VaKyFair.com
