No trip to the fair would be complete without indulging in some mouthwatering fair food. From deep-fried delicacies to sweet treats, the fair’s food vendors offer something to satisfy every craving.

The Luzerne County Fair is packed with entertainment options for all ages. Each day offers a diverse lineup of live music, family-friendly shows, rides for all ages, and thrilling carnival games. From pig races and dog acts to stunt performances, there’s no shortage of entertainment to keep the whole family captivated.

One of the highlights of the Luzerne County Fair is its strong emphasis on agriculture and farming. The fairgrounds come alive with displays of local produce, livestock, and farming demonstrations. Don’t miss the 4-H exhibits, where local youth present prize-winning livestock and crafts. The arts and craft exhibit halls are full of local talent on display, with homemade creations, artwork, carved pumpkins, scarecrows and more.

Held under the livestock tent near the Arena on Saturday, September 7, at 6:00 p.m., the annual open auction starts with youth market livestock and continues with animal tack, barn tools, and equipment. Not a farmer? Stop by anyway! The auction also features handbags, wallets, purses, sunglasses, and other items. Entry is through Gate B off Yalick Road.
