The Unionville Community Fair promotes community involvement in Agriculture, Agribusiness, Handicrafts, and the Arts. The three-day event features the largest display of community agricultural products and home crafts in southeastern Chester County. Community residents can enter more than 500 categories for ribbons and cash prizes. The Fair is held at 113 East Street Road, Kennett Square, PA.

The Unionville Community Fair started 100 years ago with 5 tables set up in the hallway of what is now the Unionville Elementary School. The first year there was only corn entered and because of that it was called The Corn Show. The Fair grew and soon had to move to the gym in the school and then flowed out to a tent and the bus garage at the school. Many traditions have been kept and many more added over the years.

The Harvest Queen pageant started in 1936 and still continues today as the Unionville Fair Queen. Proceeds from The Unionville Community Fair support several community organizations each year. For more information, visit our website – www.ucfair.org.
