Fair Map

Maps will be available closer to fair time but until then learn more about our vision for the fairgrounds!

The primary fairgrounds for the Bedford County Fair will be located in the field between the Bedford County Sheriff's Office and the Bedford Regional Water Authority. This central area will host the midway, animal exhibits, and the main stage, providing a hub of activity and entertainment.

Vendors and outdoor exhibits will extend down through the Bedford Regional Water Authority parking lot, leading to a temporary pedestrian crossing that will be maintained by the Bedford County Sheriff's Office for safe and convenient access.

Across the road at the Bedford County Gym, you'll find even more exhibits and demonstrations. The gym itself will be transformed into a contest hall, packed with engaging exhibits and activities for fairgoers of all ages.

We look forward to welcoming you to a county fair, where there's something exciting for everyone to enjoy!
