clay county fairgrounds

This place has got to have the most friendliest people running their events. They go over and beyond to accommodate groups. I'm certain it is mostly volunteers as well but they were so cheerful and willing to help. I cannot praise this fairgrounds enough. If only the people in the surrounding community were as nice. They have all covered events, ample parking and decent seating. Bathrooms were actually kept clean for a park. We enjoy this park every year.

Covered pavilions sheltered all activities. Just a couple miles out of Green Cove Springs and very good for events in all conditions.

It's always fun to go and see whatever country artists come! Be sure to check out the Home Arts show and all the livestock.

There is a little something for everyone at the Clay County Fair. Rides, food, livestock, entertainment. We love the old Florida area the best. Rides are expensive so we mostly just walk around and take in the sights. We know alot of the local students who enter pigs, cows and chickens into the fair we stop by to support them also.

My past experience with this organization has been one of admiration. The people who on the Fair committee are passionate about what they do, and it shows. They continue to prove that although we may be a small town venue...were BIG on Local talent.

This is a nice-sized county fair. Plenty of food booths, a medium sized midway a number of exhibits and attractions. The key to enjoying the fair is to obtain a schedule and plan your day. Arrive about 15 minutes before each event to get a good spot and maybe even a seat. One day probably isn't long enough to see everything and a lot of the events do overlap. If you only have one day, check the online schedule and get there just after it opens. (It's not the same every day.) Pick up a schedule just inside the ticket booths and enjoy. If any in your party are planning to send time at the midway, check the midway schedule and purchase a wrist band appropriate to when you plan to arrive and leave.

this is great for visiting friends or just annual visit, a must is the fried twinkie, but only one time a year! The hog calling is fun and frisbie dogs are cute

Going to the Clay County Fair has been a family tradition for us since we moved here 7 years ago. We enjoy everything about it. You can get a great deal for wristbands for the rides,and there are plenty of rides for all age groups. Great entertainment: pig races, frog jump competition, high diving show, magic show,concerts.It can also be an awesome educational trip:learning about farm animals( kids had the chance to feed a baby calf from a bottle),experiencing old Florida though different demonstrations( my daughter learned to weave this year),getting new craft ideas from the wonderful exhibitions.Food is great and of course we always try to win a price in one of the carnival game booths. :)

Where else can you go and have a blast with a family of 4 that is actually affordable. The fairgrounds have a lot of space so they can spread out so you're not elbow to elbow with people. also

We enjoyed the rides, animal/livestock judging, chickens, rabbits, pigs, goats, cows... Very clean and safe, relaxing fair. Love the Old Florida area with music and many crafts demonstrated. Watch several young couples try sawing a log. Very wholesome fun. Free parking. Can order discount tickets in advance.

The food was okay, but in most cases way too expensive/overpriced. Not a lot to offer either. Very few exhibits, animals, barns, food choices, etc.

Fair had a little bit of everything for everyone. Remembering it's a County Fair the prices were reasionable and kept us entertained start to finish. Animals, rides, shows, games, and Fair food!

Took my family to the clay county fair. The fair setup was really good. I was very family friendly. Will come back year after year

Attend the fair every year here and they are the cleanest, safest and nicest around. Staff and volunteers do a wonderful job.

These are two different animals, but both are great!The "Fairgrounds" are owned by the County and have excellent grounds and facilities for rentals. A full time staff, two covered arenas, one huge covered arena for concerts, fishing pond, exhibit bldgs, etc...Scottish-Highland Festival & Games, Clay County Cattleman's Rodeo, numerous Hunter-Jumper Equestrian World Cup Events, Craft Shows, and the "Fair" (Clay County Fair) which is sponsored and produced by the Clay County Fair Association, with the support of the County.
