About the Tyler County Fair Association

The Tyler County Fair Association is a passionate team of volunteers dedicated to organizing and managing events at the Tyler County Fairgrounds, highlighted by the annual Tyler County Fair and Middle Island Harvest Festival. Located in Middlebourne, West Virginia, the Tyler County Fair is a beloved tradition celebrating the region’s agricultural roots, community pride, and cultural heritage. Since its establishment in the mid-20th century, the fair has grown into one of the county’s most anticipated events, drawing visitors from across West Virginia and beyond.

Through a steadfast commitment to excellence, the association ensures the fair remains a summer highlight, blending time-honored traditions with innovative ideas to keep the experience fresh and engaging. More than just entertainment, the fair serves as a hub for education and community connection. Youth programs like 4-H and FFA competitions inspire young people to develop agricultural skills and cultivate a sense of responsibility. Additionally, local businesses and organizations find opportunities to connect with the community, fostering economic growth and collaboration.

Over the years, the fair has expanded to offer something for everyone. Visitors can enjoy livestock exhibitions that showcase the county’s farming excellence, arts and crafts displays highlighting local talent, carnival rides, games, live entertainment, and an array of delicious food vendors.

Nestled along Middle Island Creek, just two miles southeast of Middlebourne, the Tyler County Fairgrounds provide a picturesque backdrop for these cherished events. The site also features the Tyler County Fair Campground and the Tyler County Speedway, a quarter-mile dirt track that hosts thrilling motor racing events throughout the year.

The Tyler County Fair Association remains committed to preserving the legacy of the fair while fostering growth and community engagement, ensuring its impact for generations to come.
