Elizabethtown Fair

Join us at the 49th ANNUAL ELIZABETHTOWN FAIR

We would like to invite you to the 49th annual Elizabethtown Fair. Our fair serves as a showcase for local talent and reminds us of the agricultural heritage of Lancaster County. It is a place for families and friends to gather and celebrate all the best in our community.

Forty-six years ago the first Elizabethtown Fair was held in Community Park. The first year, there was one tent for competitive exhibits, one food stand, and a few carnival rides. There were no livestock or commercial vendors, no contests, and no entertainment. Over forty years later we have grown to over 3,000 competitive exhibits, forty food stands, over 150 commercial exhibitors, and over 800 livestock. We have added entertainment on two stages and daily contests.

We offer something for everyone from the Baby Photo Contest to Senior Citizens Day. The petting zoo, manned by over 100 volunteers is a very popular attraction for all ages. We offer a place for youth to come together to show their livestock.

The Fair operates with great cooperation from the Elizabethtown Area School District and the Elizabethtown Brethren in Christ Church as the fairgrounds are on school district property and parking is offered on church property. The church also provides an area for Competitive Exhibits to be displayed and a room for our monthly board meetings. We would like to thank the Elizabethtown Area School District and Elizabethtown Brethren in Christ Church for being part of the Fair.

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank all our supporters, including volunteers, sponsors, vendors, and patrons. The Elizabethtown Fair has continued to grow and serve as a place for us to gather as a community to exhibit, compete, entertain, and fellowship together. We have been able to successfully bring together agriculture, business, church, and education in a great atmosphere.

The Elizabethtown Fair Board meets the fourth Thursday from January through October at 7:30 p.m. at the Elizabethtown Brethren in Christ Church. The public is invited to all meetings. For additional information call 717-367-7256 or visit our website www.etownfair.com.
