Cotton candy. Pop corn. Carnival games. Rides. Everyone loves fairs. And every September Frederick is host to one of the best. They call it “The Great Frederick Fair,” emphasis on “Great!”
The Great Frederick Fair was started as a way to promote agriculture, and to educate today’s youth about this historically vital American industry. Over the past 150 plus years they’ve added more and more attractions, including a carnival, concerts, and other entertainment.
Throughout the year the fairgrounds are also home to other events, such as markets, auctions, festivals, book fairs, car shows, and more. There’s always something going on. And it’s just a short 10-minute drive from the Clarion Inn.
