Situated in the beautiful Village of Gagetown, NB, Canada, the Shire town of Queens County, the Queens County Fair is an agriculture-based fair that has something for everyone!  Visit the mid-way, the exhibit halls, the barns, check out what the vendors have to offer and take a few minutes to enjoy the variety of entertainment.

​Gagetown is located on the stunning Gagetown Creek of the St. John River, roughly halfway between Saint John and Fredericton on Route 102.  Boasting a full service marina, restaurants, museums, several craft shops offering many varied and exciting locally made arts and crafts, apple u-picks, distilleries, etc, Gagetown offers something for everyone.  Also a favorite location for bird watchers and boaters alike, the Queens County Fair should not be missed. 

See you at the fair!
