Middletown Grange Fair 2025: 5 Days Of Animals, Food, And Fun

WRIGHTSTOWN, PA — The Middletown Grange Fair will open a five-day run on Wednesday, August 13, continuing a Bucks County tradition dating back to 1948.

This year’s fair runs through Sunday, August 17 at the fairgrounds on Penns Park Road in Wrightstown, where thousands are expected to experience Bucks County’s premier agricultural fair.

Hours are 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Wednesday to Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Amusement rides open at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and 12 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Admission is free and parking is $20 per car.

The event is again featuring everything people have come to know and love about the fair, from its famous chicken dinner to its 4-H and community exhibition barns, free nightly entertainment shows, and its carnival rides and games.

Last year’s tractor pull is back this year with daily shows. The popular tractor parade of power will again be making its rounds. The Aim High Dog Stunt Show will amaze with exciting canine feats. And the exhibition barns will again be filled with thousands of judged entries from baked goods to vegetables, photography and quilts.

This year’s entertainment schedule is packed with fun, including the Newtown School of Rock Battle of the Bands, Suns of Beaches, Frank Vieira and the Fearless Flores Thrill Show.

At the heart of the fair will be its many 4-H farm-raised animals and shows. And this year’s fair will not disappoint, said organizers.

More than 300 4-H-raised animals, from bleating sheep and squealing pigs to mooing cows, will again fill the fairground barns with the sounds of the farm. The schedule is again packed with shows and competitions taking place throughout the fair's five days.

The fair opens Wednesday with the rabbit and cavy show, 4-H poultry show (modified), alpaca and llama show, and the 4-H market and hog show. Thursday brings the goat show, the 4-H Stockman’s Contest, the Raymond C. & Rachel H. Gross 4-H Dairy Judging Contest and a 4-H Horse Bowl. Friday spotlights the Holstein and Sheep Shows. Saturday features the 4-H Dairy and Beef Cattle Shows and the 4-H Market Hog Auction. And Sunday brings the Rabbit and Cavy Parade of Breeds.

Of course, no fair would be complete without its food options. This year's menu is headlined by the Grange Fair's annual chicken dinner to be served on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 3 to 8 p.m. or until sold out.
