The Georgia National Fair is a state-sponsored fair that is held every October on the Georgia National Fairgrounds and Agricenter in Perry, Georgia, United States.
The Georgia National Fair is now an 11-day fair. It was first held in 1990 with an attendance of 270,000 people.[2] It has grown to attract an annual average of over 565,500 visitors.[3] It offers a wide range of activities and shows, such as agricultural, livestock and horse shows, home and fine arts competitions, youth organization events (4-H, FBLA, FCCLA, FFA, and TSA), circus, midway rides and games, fair food, major live music concerts in Reaves Arena, family entertainment, and nightly fireworks.
The Georgia National Fair is the official state-sponsored fair, administered through the Georgia Agricultural Exposition Authority.
The rides have been provided by Reithoffer Shows since 1990.
Although only the Youth Livestock Exhibitions will take place in 2020, the other events were cancelled on grounds of COVID-19 pandemic.
