Visited on a weekend and still was able to enjoy the rides with the kiddos. The animals was definitely the highlight of our day. The kids definitely learned a lot and was able to pet some of them. The food was great except that some of them was a lilttle bit pricey i suggest to look around since i was able to find the same food for a lesser price ( esp for a big family). But overall the price for the entrance was affordable (better to buy online ahead of time since its cheaper) Be prepared to have cash on hand since not all the food and stall vendors accepts credit card. Plus if you are to park outside the fairgrounds they will charge 10$ flat rate cash. The game booths i think for me was too pricey per game.

This fair was a pleasant surprise for being in a town the Size of Frederick. The variety of food stands was just as I expected. The deserts only stand was different and awesome, I highly recommend the peach dumpling w/ice cream. The ride midway has lots of rides for kids of all ages. The 2 roller coasters at a fair brought back memories from being younger. The number of animal barns and animals were the pleasant surprise. There is also a great variety of other vendors. Did I mention the entire fair grounds is very clean. If you are in the area during the fair and don't go you are missing out.

Went to the fair on Friday 9/12 to see Brantley Gilbert and it was a wonderful experience even though we were in the standing room only section. Audio was great, only downside is drink lines and bathroom lines are long but that's also what you expect when going to concerts.

Pretty basic food choices, none of the locals seemed excited about a favorite food. The police presence was strong, but I guess that's the city. FYI if you walk to your car and then try to go back in, they're not nice about it.

As the Manager of The Great Frederick Fair, I get a front-row seat to the magic that most people never see — and let me tell you, this place is INCREDIBLE. The amount of heart, hard work, and passion that goes into this Fairgrounds year-round is unmatched. Our team is dedicated, friendly, and always ready to help, whether it’s hosting one of our 300+ annual event days or preparing for our 9-day Fair that brings the whole community together. The Fair is supported by so many volunteers and amazing sponsors/partners that help us carry out the mission statement of ag ed and offer such a GREAT event each year! The Great Frederick Fair is truly where agriculture, education, and community pride come to life. From the animals and exhibits to the entertainment, rides, games, and (of course!) the food — it’s a must-see tradition every single year. Whether you visit during Fair week or come out for one of the many events held here throughout the year, you’ll feel the energy, the excitement, and the welcoming spirit that make this place so special. Proud to be part of it — and proud to share it with our amazing community!

I went to help out and volunteer for the Oktoberfest at the Frederick Fairgrounds this past weekend and It was such a blast! Many new faces here in our city, and everyone was having such a good time in the dining hall enjoying the music, and of course the beer and Brats, and Schnitzel!Lots of delicious food, and a lot of people came in their lederhosen. I just want to thank everyone that came out, and I will definitely be back next year.
