Plans for Wicomico County Fair announced

A new event is headed to Wicomico County, but it may have a familiar feeling.

On Thursday, The Salisbury Area Chamber of Commerce and the Wicomico Farm & Home Show announced that they have teamed up for a new event, the Wicomico County Fair. The big event will be held on August 14-16, at Winterplace Park in Salisbury.

The fair, which in the past has been known as the Wicomico Farm & Home Show, has been re-imagined to feature something for everyone with live entertainment, food, free kids activities and a car show. The best part is that admission, and parking will be free!

The Salisbury Area Chamber of Commerce says they were looking to fill the void left when the Delmarva Chicken Festival was retired. The event will include elements from both events including livestock showings, the giant fry pan, educational poultry exhibits, antique tractor pulls and much more!

“Whether it is as a food source or local driver for related industries, agriculture plays an important role in the life of every resident in Wicomico and the surrounding counties,” said Zach Evans, Wicomico Fair & Home Show Vice President. “This event will help us to educate the youth and future generations in this area about agriculture and also show the pride associated with farming and our county and city.”

“The Salisbury Area Chamber of Commerce is proud to team with the Farm & Home Show creating an entirely new venue called the Wicomico County Fair,” said Ernie Colburn, SACC CEO. “The Wicomico County Fair will be an educational and entertaining weekend event that the entire family can enjoy.”
