Thrilling rides, top-notch exhibits, premium livestock events, an all-star concert lineup, and free entertainment offerings put fairgoers in a positive and receptive frame of mind, which is the perfect mindset for presenting your brand/image, product, and/or company name.  

The Delaware State Fair, one of the largest events in the state of Delaware, is listed among the oldest and largest agricultural and industrial expositions in Delmarva.  Annually attracting an average of more than 350,000 people to the Fairgrounds from the Peninsula and beyond, the Delaware State Fair is Delaware’s great celebration, a salute to the state’s best in agriculture, industry, entertainment and achievement.  

The Delaware State Fair has been inducted into the IEBA Hall of Fame, nationally recognized as the 3rd Best Fair in the Country, and has been the recipient of IAFE Communications Award several years in a row.  

Throughout its history, the Delaware State Fair has been a unique institution, serving to educate, inform and entertain people from all walks of life.  Each year, hundreds of manufacturers and industrial representatives partner with the Fair in an effort to co-brand their business with a 100 year institution and other businesses clamor to rent coveted space to sell quality merchandise and tasty food.  Hundreds of displays,  exhibitions, demonstrations, unique attractions and all kinds of competition- for fun, for ribbons and for the pride of winning- make the Delaware State Fair the place for family engagement.

In addition to its tremendous showcase of agriculture and industry, the Delaware State Fair is also an entertainment destination for Delaware and the Eastern seaboard.  The blend of great entertainment offered both in and outside of the M&T Bank Grandstand continue to show why the Delaware State Fair, after 100 years, is consistently considered to be one of the best destinations for great entertainment on Delmarva.   We are committed to offer unique entertainment opportunities throughout the year with great experiences for our patrons like VIP packages, Beer Gardens, live entertainment throughout the grounds, amazing food, shopping and entertainment for kids of all ages. Whether its through the 10 days of Fair, the Centre Ice Rink, our beloved First State Stampede – A Rodeo hosted at the Quillen Arena or Holiday Shoppes Vendor & Craft Show, we are proud to offer a great experience for our patrons.
