Cape May Court House – Come be a part of the 4-H Fair! The Cape May County 4-H Fair will entertain Cape May County residents and visitors on July 16, 17, and 18, 2026. You can experience firsthand this Cape May County tradition by being a vendor at the fair. It is estimated that over 10,000 people visited the 2025 4-H Fair, making it a great opportunity for vendors to sell their products and reach new customers.
The Cape May County 4-H Foundation is busy planning for the 2026 4-H Fair scheduled for July 16, 17, and 18. This year the theme is Red, White, and Blue Ribbons…Celebrating 250 Years the 4-H Way! “The 4-H Fair Committee is looking forward to this year’s fair and highlighting our 4-H kids’ projects and accomplishments,” said Lisa McVey, 4-H Fair Chair. “We invite vendors to decorate with red, white, and blue as we are excited to show our patriotic spirit and celebrate 4-H and our great nation,” added McVey.
The 4-H spirit will be on display at the fair with 4-H events and exhibits plus expect to see all the traditional fair activities and a variety of vendors that make the 4-H Fair the place to be in July.
We invite past vendors to return and encourage new vendors to join us in making the 2026 4-H Fair the best fair ever.
Applications are available for exhibit space for commercial and food concessions (including food trucks), non-profits, and educational displays. We are seeking vendors who offer family friendly novelties, quality crafts and goods, and of course patriotic items to feature on the 16 acres of tree-shaded fairgrounds.
The 4-H Fair is a county tradition that offers family entertainment, live music, a Chicken BBQ, and much more. It is a great opportunity for new vendors to experience a quality county fair with affordable commercial vendor fees that include basic electricity and start as low as $180.
