The McHenry County Fair has been a tradition in Woodstock, Illinois since 1949. At the fair you can see 4-H, Open, and Junior Open livestock and non-livestock shows, educational displays revolving around conservation and agriculture, various vendors from different businesses and organizations across the county, a carnival, and a variety of ground and grandstand entertainment. It is an event for families to come to create summertime memories that last a lifetime.

The McHenry County Fairgrounds, in Woodstock, Illinois, is privately owned and funded by the McHenry County Fair Association, a nonprofit group that consists of 22 Board of Directors and over one hundred members who work hard year round for the success of not only the week long fair in the beginning of August, but for other events that take place throughout the year. The McHenry County Fair originally started in 1854 and closed in 1924. The McHenry County Fair Association reopened on their current property in May of 1949 and has continued holding events on the McHenry County Fairgrounds ever since.
