The 4-H Fair is a Cape May County tradition that offers family entertainment, live music – including the Party Wave Band and Derek Werner with special musical guests, and a Chicken BBQ, sponsored by the Cape May County Board of Agriculture. Amusement rides, games, and a variety of vendors with delicious food and interesting items will keep the 4-H Fairground’s Midway buzzing with excitement.
Other favorites include livestock and equestrian shows, a children’s discovery farm, and our popular Pet Show with the grand prize winner receiving a year’s supply of pet food donated by Smeltzer & Sons Feed & Pet Supplies.
