New Jersey State Fair

From New Jersey State Fair Website:

The Sussex County Fairgrounds, located in Augusta, NJ, serves as the hub for year-round entertainment and education for the residents of New Jersey, New York, Philadelphia, and more! The great people behind the success are now calling on the community for help beautifying, preserving, and improving The Fairgrounds, as well as enhancing the farming community.

Theres always something fun!

The Fairgrounds is most well-known for the annual New Jersey State Fair, held in August. The Fair was moved to this location in 1976, allowing organizers to take advantage of the beautiful, spacious grounds, outdoor amenities, and an indoor venue that provides a sophisticated location for events. Since then, it has grown into a pillar of the community, providing entertainment, education, and opportunity to visitors from all around. In addition to the main event, The Fairgrounds also hosts talent shows, a learning center, cultural events, horse shows, and livestock shows. Check out our website to see all that we offer!

Year-round entertainment!

The Sussex County Fairgrounds has provided a venue for tourism for almost 70 years. Coupled with the development and expansion of the infrastructure, aggressive marketing, and advertising, The Fairgrounds has attracted and increased the number of off-season events, bringing more and more visitors to Sussex County every year. This much sought-after event venue has attracted many for-profit and non-profit groups seeking powerful ways to integrate their brands with a fully engaged consumer. In turn, The Fair, through its mission of giving back to the community, has generously donated thousands of dollars of in-kind services and/or reduced rates to charitable agencies throughout the county.

The Fairgrounds also hosts a wide variety of year-round, cultural and athletic events. The large, well-maintained, park-like fields have been home to many cultural festivals including Crawfishfest and Champion of the Grill. The paved roads, open fields, and spacious buildings provide excellent facilities for bicycle clubs, track events, arts and crafts shows, and various other All-Season events scheduled throughout the year. The Richards Building, boasting 10,000 sq. ft. of clear, open space, offers versatile and flexible space for a variety of rental options such as the Newton Kennel Club, Peters Valley Craft Show, and several fund-raising craft shows for local schools and organizations.
