Agriculture Shines as Georgia National Fair Breaks Records

There are plenty of ups and downs in agriculture, but it remains an industry rooted in tradition, rural values, and community, all on full display at the 36th annual Georgia National Fair in Perry, Georgia. More than 612,000 visitors came together to celebrate Georgia’s agricultural heritage, where youth livestock exhibitors, local producers, and farm families showcased the dedication behind the state’s leading industry.

From the Youth Livestock Shows and Georgia Grown Market to exhibits highlighting peanuts, timber, and cotton, agriculture stood at the heart of the fair. The 2025 theme, “Fairadise and America 250,” added a festive mix of tropical fun and patriotic pride to the event.

Proof that people are still out enjoying one another, this year’s fair saw three record-breaking attendance nights and another proud chapter in Georgia’s agricultural legacy. The 37th Georgia National Fair will return to Perry, October 8–18, 2026.
