Georgia National Fair sets attendance records

The 36th annual Georgia National Fair welcomed 612,706 visitors from across the state and beyond, celebrating Georgia’s best in agriculture, family fun and community tradition.

Agriculture once again took center stage, with the dedication and hard work of Georgia’s youth livestock exhibitors. Signature events included the Fair Food Fight, the Youth Livestock Shows, multiple exhibits showcasing Georgia’s peanut, timber and cotton sectors, and a Georgia Grown market highlighting locally made products and producers.

The Georgia National Fair continues to serve as a cornerstone event for the state, supporting youth development, education, and agricultural while creating lasting family memories. The Georgia Agricultural Exposition Authority is already planning for the 37th Georgia National Fair, building on this year’s excitement to deliver another unforgettable experience October 8 – 18, 2026.

The 2025 theme, “Fairadise and America 250,” offered fairgoers a perfect blend of tropical fun and patriotic pride. From vibrant island-inspired décor and entertainment to exhibits honoring the nation’s upcoming 250th anniversary, guests experienced a “Fairadise” filled with Georgia-grown hospitality and all-American spirit.

This year’s fair saw three record-breaking attendance nights on the second weekend, as families and friends packed the fairgrounds to enjoy the concerts, midway rides, livestock shows and award-winning fair food.
