Orange County Fair Information
The Orange County 4-H Fair is held annually at the Orange County Fairgrounds located on West Daniel Lane, Paoli Indiana. This time honored tradition gives local youth the opportunity to show off their hard work, and dedication to local agriculture as well as highlight their unique special interests and talents.
For long time residents, the county fair can be a nostalgic event that brings back childhood memories of summers past and fun times with family and community. It provides them a chance to introduce younger generations to a great tradition.
Join us next year for the 2026 Orange County 4-H Fair from June 20th through June 26th! There will be Livestock Shows, Friendly Games, Kids Activities, and much more! Youth from the Orange County 4-H Program will be showcasing their hard work and efforts in the Exhibit Hall and Livestock Barns!
