When is the Somerset County Fair?

Since 1947, the Somerset County 4-H Fair has been bringing people of all backgrounds together in a way that embraces community and teamwork.

The first 4-H club in Somerset County was the New Centre Dairy club, which is still in existence today. The first Somerset County Fair was in 1948 located at Far Hills. The Fair moved from Far Hills to North Branch Park in 1962, and the location of the Fair in North Branch Park was renamed the Somerset County 4-H Fairgrounds in 2007.

Today, the annual fair is a three-day fest filled with 4-H animals, displays and activities, as well as shows, food, vendors and more.
