About

Held in early August in Augusta, the New Jersey State Fair draws approximately 220,000 attendees annually to this ten-day agricultural fair at the Sussex County Fairgrounds. The fair features traditional 4-H and agricultural exhibits, specialized horse shows, a full-scale carnival, and ticketed arena events. The vendor mix includes food, craft, and merchandise vendors alongside nonprofits. The Fair has been a community mainstay for over 75 years. Vendors must commit to opening for business from fair open to close daily. The fairgrounds span over 150 acres with 25+ permanent buildings.
