The Richland County Fair returns for its 176th year from August 9 through August 15, 2026, a remarkable milestone for one of Ohio’s most enduring summer traditions. Spread across 106 acres at 750 North Home Road in Mansfield, the fairgrounds offer a full week of agriculture, entertainment, and community spirit.

Livestock shows fill the barns throughout the week as exhibitors present their finest animals, while 4-H and FFA exhibits highlight the creativity and dedication of Richland County’s young people. Their projects, from animal husbandry to crafts and sciences, represent months of careful preparation and stand as a centerpiece of the fair experience.

Live entertainment keeps the energy high each day and into the evening, and the midway offers rides, games, and classic fair food for visitors of every age. With 106 acres to explore, there is always another barn to visit, another show to watch, and another memory to make.

A county institution for generations, the fair remains a place where neighbors meet, families gather, and the agricultural heritage of north central Ohio takes center stage. Mark your calendar for a week that has been bringing the community together since the very beginning.
