183rd Annual Orange County Fair

Arts and Entertainment

July 6, 2023

From: Orange County Fair

For over 100 years, the Orange County Fair has been entertaining families in the Hudson Valley and beyond.

Each year, we look for the best in family entertainment, local and national music, racing and auto events such as our monster trucks and of course amazing amusement rides.

In 2023, we are back and better than ever with an amazing lineup of Tribute Bands in our new amphitheater, spectacular entertainment like the All NEW Anastasini Circus, The Benjamin Jackson Comedy Hypnosis Show, and the amazing Strongman Show!

If you haven't been to the fair in a while or if you have been a regular fair or race fan, we hope you will come out this year with your friends and family and see all we have to offer.

Whether you are here for the music, the rides, the incredible entertainment or the delicious food, we look forward to you making family memories that will last a lifetime.
