Held in the his­toric vil­lage of Bluemont at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Loudoun County, Virginia — junc­tion of Rt. 760 and Rt. 734, just off Route 7.
540−554−2367

Cost: $5 per person

Ages: all

Drinking Fountain: none we noticed, but water sold for rea­son­able prices

Restroom: lots of clean port-o-potties

Parking: free, short walk from fair

Stroller-friendly: Yes, but off road/ jog­ging strollers would be eas­ier than reg­u­lar ones.

Pet-friendly: Not offi­cially — the guide we were given (and didn’t read until we got home) clearly states no pets. However, we hap­pened to have the dog with us and she was made so wel­come we joked we should get her her own tent next year.

Goats & lla­mas and alpacas! Funnel cake! Honey Bees! A beau­ti­ful fall day! Craft booths! Live music! And to top it all off there was this beau­ti­ful set-up in the children’s fair where you could hear music from a band full of instru­ments like wash­board bass, watch chil­dren climb all over a pile of hay bales while oth­ers danced and chased after a cou­ple dozen hula hoops in the back­ground. It was like a very good dream :)
