We Are Excited to Be Back Together Again for This Year’s Fair!
The Ocean County Fair is now closed for the season.
We want to thank all those who helped pull this event together. It does take a village to organize an event like this. Thank you to the Vendors for their participation and displaying their talents with food or commercial items for sale, The patrons who came out to support the fair and the vendors, and the 4-H members with their projects.
Look for us again on July 9 – July 13, of 2025.
Thank You! We do hope you enjoyed the event and looking forward to seeing you again in 2025.
Ocean County Fair Staff, Helen, David, & John

Ocean County Fair History
The Ocean County Fair has been a staple event in Ocean County since 1947. By 1967, the one-day "Ocean County Field Day" had become a three-day "Ocean County Fair" with the participation of over 80 4-H clubs, and attendance of over 60,000 people.
In 1982 the Ocean County Fair was expanded to a four-day event. Today, the Ocean County Fair is held for five days from Wednesday to Sunday where it has remained a non-profit educational event celebrating the entire Ocean County community.
