The Fairest of the Fair in Sevier County, TN?

If you enjoy county fairs, the Sevier County Fair will be one of your most favorite!  In 2022 the Fair will run from August 30 through September 5.  The fairgrounds are located at 754 Old Knoxville Highway in Sevierville.  Admission is $6 and children younger than 10 are admitted free.

Attendees can watch the cattle, goat, and sheep shows or wander the exhibit hall.  Folks from our community are submitting photography, floral arrangements, vegetables and fruits, and arts and crafts for judging.  In the exhibit hall you will find a booth with Master Gardeners just waiting to answer your most pressing garden questions.  

A popular exhibit from 2021 is back this year—the Butterfly Haven.  This live butterfly habitat offers you the opportunity to walk through and see amazing butterflies and plants.  Volunteers will be on hand to provide information on the importance of these pollinators.  They will offer tips on how to attract butterflies to your own yard.  

Fair Has Something for Everyone

Entertainment options include laser tag, a bird show, a bulls and broncs rodeo, and a variety show.

Competitive eaters can participate in eating contests of sausage, donuts, corn dogs, ice cream, watermelon, pizza, French fries, pickles, pies, funnel cakes, spaghetti, barbecue, hot dogs, and corn on the cob.  Whew!  Or, you could just sample all the delicious food available and decide who your pick would be for the best of the fair food competition.

Corn dogs, funnel cakes, sno-cones…yum!

Children will enjoy this year’s Farm Fest.  Activities include sheep shearing, coopering, wool spinning, veggie tasting, digging potatoes, knife forging, apple pressing and corn shuck dolls.  Kids who complete the activities will get free ice cream!

We are a competitive bunch here in Sevier County.  Competitions this year include a dog fashion show, a lawn mower derby, a mullet contest, a look-alike lip synch contest, and a skillet toss.  A crowd favorite is sure to be the Sevier County Fair’s Got Talent talent show!

A wide variety of live music will be available.  Performances range from Rock ‘n Roll hits from the 50’s and 60’s, country, classic rock, gospel, and Motown hits.

We hope to see you there!  For more information, please visit http://Www.seviercountyfair.org
