About the Fair

The Jamestown Community Fair has been a cornerstone of life in Mercer County for as long as anyone can remember. What started as a simple agricultural gathering has grown into the highlight of the year for thousands of families across western Pennsylvania.

Run entirely by volunteers and supported by local sponsors, the fair remains true to its roots, celebrating the agricultural heritage, community bonds, and small-town values that define Jamestown. With free admission every day, we make sure the fair belongs to everyone.
