For the 77th year, the Prince William County Fairgrounds in Manassas will host nine days of the countywide fair from July 31 - August 9, 2026.
The fair should draw big crowds over the course of the nine day period with carnival rides like the ferris wheel and merry-go-round/ It will also feature plenty of animal-based fun including: a petting zoo, pig races, dog shows, camel rides, pony rides and farm animals.
All of this as well as carnival food vendors will be available each day the fair is open, but there are also special events planned. The first and last day of the fair (July 31 and August 9) will be marked with demolition derbies. On August 1 there will be a Fireworks show, on August 2 and 3 the fair will host a rodeo, on August 4 and 5 there will be a monster truck show, on August 6 there will be color works, and August 7 there will be a tractor pull.
Tickets are on sale now at pwcfair.com. Adult tickets are $25, kids aged 5-12 are $15, while kids 4 and under get in free. On August 4 tickets are split into two sessions with the first session being from 2-5 pm for half price and the second being from 5-close for full price.
