Showcasing East Tennessee Heritage, Agriculture and Arts for 102 Years
The Tennessee Valley Fair offers family-friendly entertainment to Knoxville and the surrounding area. Fairgoers of all ages will find numerous activities to enjoy on the fairgrounds as well as rides, live music, competitions, shows, food, action sports, special events, and so much more! The economic impact the Fair has on our community is $11.4 million annually. For a complete listing of events, go to TNValleyFair.org.
Not only is this a place to have fun but also a place to learn. Educating fairgoers about agriculture is important – after all, agriculture is what feeds us, clothes us, and helps us live. Be sure to visit the Ponderosa Zoo & Rescue and the AgSimulator to get the feel of a real harvester cab!
There is a little something for everyone – in addition to Fair rides and awesome Fair food – from mountain music showdown, to axe throwing contests, to a demolition derby, to Agri-Puppets, to antique engines & tracors, to beer gardens, to Anatastini Circus! And that is not even half the list!
Daily Fair hours vary, so be sure to check their website at TNValleyFair.org for specific times, and
please remember only clear bags are allowed. Don’t forget to say hello to Jasper the Rooster, TVF’s mascot since 1978!
