Lots and lots of Pure Ag-entertainment at this year’s Schuylkill County Fair found at multiple venues at various times to accommodate the fair goer.
The Schuylkill County Fair will be in full swing July 31 through August 5 opening each day at 4PM.
The exception to this is Tuesday and Saturday of fair week when the fair opens to the public at 11AM. Tuesday is Kids day and Saturday is family day. Speaking of kids and family you can’t beat the price with a $5.00 general admission with 12 years of age and under free. That makes the Fair a family value entertainment.
