Your local fair, since 1911.
For over 110 years, the Orangeburg Fair has been providing thrills, laughs, and an old fashioned good time to families from Orangeburg, Calhoun, and Bamberg counties and beyond.
Over the years, we have welcomed hundreds of thousands of people through our main gate to enjoy entertainment, livestock shows, crafty exhibits, and delicious food. Here’s a look back at all of the moments and people who have helped create that long and wonderful history.
“The gates will swing open today on the 39th annual Orangeburg County Fair. With good weather, it shows promise of being the biggest fair yet, according to Judge Jerry M. Hughes, Fair Association secretary.”
