Ohioans can start planning visits to all of their favorite fairs across the state. This past week, the Ohio Department of Agriculture released the official dates for the 2023 fair season, which includes Ohio’s 94 county and independent fairs and the Ohio State Fair.
The Paulding County Fair will kick off the 2023 fair season on June 12, and the season will wrap up on October 14 with the Fairfield County Fair.
Here are dates for the Richland County Fair and county fairs in all of its contiguous counties:
Richland: August 6-12 – richlandcountyfair.com
Ashland: September 17-23 – ashlandcountyfair.com
Crawford: July 17-22 – crawfordcofair.com
Huron: August 14-19 – huroncountyfair.com
Knox: July 22-29 – knoxcountyfair.org
Morrow: August 28 – September 4 – morrowcountyfair.org
The Bellville Street Fair will be held from September 13-16.
The Ohio State Fair will take place from July 26 through August 6. Camp Washington (two miles east of downtown Cincinnati) was the site of the first Ohio State Fair, Oct. 2 – 4, 1850. The last time that the Fair was held outside of Columbus was in 1872 and 1873, right here in Mansfield.
