Nestled amidst the rolling hills of western New York, the Allegany County Fair in Angelica paints the town red, white, and blue every mid-July. This week-long celebration of rural life attracts thousands with its charm, competition, and down-home fun. Whether you're a farmhand at heart or simply seeking a slice of Americana, the Allegany County Fair offers something for everyone.
Step into a classic country carnival, where the air buzzes with the excited screams of children riding the Ferris wheel and the tempting aroma of freshly fried treats. Thrill-seekers can conquer the drops and loops of the Dragon Coaster, while little ones chase laughter on the whimsical tea cup ride. Don't miss the demolition derby, a heart-pounding spectacle where customized cars clash in a cloud of dust, igniting cheers and gasps from the crowd.
Beyond the carnival thrills, the fair shines a light on the region's agricultural heritage. Witness the grace and power of draft horses pulling massive loads, or marvel at the prize-winning livestock on display.
