GENERAL ADMISSION
$8.00 Admission – Ages 11 and older
Free Admission – Ages 10 and under
Your general admission ticket grants you access to everything the West End Fair has to offer—from exhibits and entertainment to family fun and delicious food. Once inside the fairgrounds (we have three gates—see the fair map or grab a brochure at the entrance), you'll be welcomed by friendly vendors, local food stands, and smiling faces from across our community.
Our food concessions are a mix of local fire companies, churches, food banks, and nonprofits, as well as popular fair favorites offering a wide variety of treats. You'll also find paved walkways, on-site security, and our hometown sheriff’s department actively keeping the grounds safe and welcoming.
Enjoy free entertainment across the fair, including performances on the Main Stage, Band Shell, Free Show Area, and Agricultural Educational Arena. From local talent to acts from across Pennsylvania, there’s something for everyone.
The Main Arena hosts our biggest events and includes large bleacher seating. Some arena shows may require a separate ticket—please visit the Main Arena Ticket Sales page for details.
Explore our livestock barns, where animals are on display daily, and stop by during judging or special events to learn directly from the owners. Don’t miss our growing Midway Ride Area, featuring rides for all ages with special wristband offers available throughout the week.
The Kids Korral continues to expand with even more free shows and hands-on fun for little ones—perfect for families looking to relax while the kids stay engaged. Be sure to visit the Tractor Club, where you can see fully operational, restored equipment and hear stories straight from those who lived the history.
And of course, our exhibit buildings are packed with award-winning entries, from arts & crafts to photography, baking, sewing, canning, and more. The creativity and talent on display are truly something to see.
Whether you’re spending the whole day or just coming out for the evening, the West End Fair has something for everyone. We can't wait to see you!
