Each year the Champlain Valley Exposition works with the Vermont Foodbank during the annual Champlain Valley Fair to raise awareness and secure donations to help fight food insecurity in Vermont. With your support, on Thursday, August 29th, 2024, Foodbank Day, Sponsored by National Life Group, produced a record setting volume of donations totaling 8,960 lbs.! Over the past 10 years, this initiative has generated a total of 71,450 lbs. of food for Vermonters. We thank you all for your continued support of this incredible event!

We would like to send a special thank you to everyone for making the Champlain Valley Fair such an incredible ten days! We had some amazing weather for nearly the entire event (yes, some of us got a little wet this past weekend 😁) But as we close out the 102nd year of entertainment, agriculture exhibits, food, fun, music, motor sports, and memories, we want to thank our presenting sponsor, NorthCountry Federal Credit Union and Strates Shows for everything they do! Visit our sponsor page at www.champlainvalleyfair.org/sponsors-2 for all our sponsors! We also would like to thank Mr. & Mrs. Stanley Gumienny, Mr. Sausage of Vermont, for their 44 years here at the Fair. We have hung this plaque to forever remember their contribution to the Fair. Thank you Stanley!

You know what they say on the first day of the month and the last day of the Champlain Valley Fair.... "Rabbit, Rabbit," Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit.....and so on.
Stop by the Rabbit Tent today and get your fill of floppy ears.

The weather gods smiled on our concertgoers Saturday night creating a great show in the sky to match the country talent on stage at the Champlain Valley Exposition Grandstand. The "Roots and Boots" concert featured Aaron Tippin, Collin Raye and Sammy Kershaw who helped shape the sound of country music in the ’90s.
Sunday night, Pentatonix closes out the music series beginning at 7:30 p.m. Tickets at www.champlainvalleyfair.org

Reminder, Sunday is the LAST DAY of the Fair. Don't Miss It!

It may be a little overcast right now, but with just two days left of the Champlain Valley Fair , there is always something to do! Even if there's some rain, there are HUGE indoor displays to experience, including our Miller South vendor area, Miller North exhibit area, Blue Ribbon Pavilion art exhibit, and of course the historical Vermont State Building! Here are just a few incredible things to see in each! You could easily spend hours during your time at the fair in these areas alone! Rain or shine, there is always something to experience at the Fair!
