If you're here for food, you win. We went for food and we found A LOT of excellent food. Didn't do any other shopping, just walked around and ate a lot and took the ski lift ride across the grounds.

The fair itself was good. Not great but considering what is happening with the virus it was a welcome treat. Now the bad part - the RV parking has totally inflated its pricing. It is now $45 per night for primitive camping. Some sites have water and you have to get there early to get one but they have a paper they make you sign that says full hookup. NOT - full hookup is water, electric and sewer so if you plan on camping make sure you have plenty of cash to pay for a grassy field that isn't mowed unless you pay the guys who have their riding mowers.

A lot of fun. Traditional for the area. It is nice to see everyone have an outlet for their talents. I enjoy it. All of it.

Amazing experience at the fair. Sad my show was canceled but they still got someone to cover the night. Awesome how they take care of their people

1st time as a vendor this year at the Bloomsburg Fair and we are spoiled. I wish every event was as well coordinated as this one. Though our business had a small snag with a mistake on the labeling of our business, the fair took the chance to make the correction. We will be back to serve 2022 on the corner of 4th and c. As a visitor there are tons of places to eat. Unfortunately a lot of repetition from the big name vendors but it makes it easier to stand in line.

Lots of new foods and drinks this year and am excited to see what happens next year! Word of advice, there is more variety if you are willing to walk away from the main drags. Dig into the mess and I promise you will find some real treasures!

First of all. All the street parking were all blocked. We were not able to bring out Toy Yorkie in. I mean that's ridiculous. Even one of the lady's that work in the fair exclaimed to us. They shouldn't be charging the entrance. And you know what. I totally agree. This was the 1st. time I visited the Fair. And I was very disappointed.

Simply The best fair in Pennsylvania. It has everything. Every kind of food you can imagine, rides, animals, harness racing, farm machinery, demolition derby, a skyway, etc., etc. There are lots of great fairs in PA, but Bloomsburg is the best. The best strategy is to get there about 9 am. You'll have 2 hours or so before the crowds get really big. We try never to miss it.
