2026 Hamilton County 4-H Fair

The Hamilton County 4-H Fair is a free event that welcomes families and visitors of all ages. Held annually at the Hamilton County Exhibition Center, this fair has been a beloved community tradition since 1950. You'll find the classic fair experiences here—animal shows, competitions, and plenty of food made on-site—alongside thousands of exhibits created by local 4-H members and artisans. Beyond the typical fair activities, there's plenty to explore at a relaxed pace. You can catch pop-up musical performances and interactive shows, visit educational stations run by Purdue Extension, or simply sit back and soak in the friendly atmosphere. Whether you're a longtime regular or visiting for the first time, the fairgrounds feels welcoming and comfortable. It's the kind of event that brings people back year after year, drawing visitors from across the state who consider it a homecoming of sorts.
