Activities at the Fair include competitive exhibits, story-telling, and sharing Arlington experiences to expand the growing video library on the County website.

Partnership with Animal Welfare League of Arlington

The Animal Welfare League of Arlington (AWLA) and local animal rescue groups will provide entertainment and information about healthy pets at this year’s Fair. AWLA’s programming includes presentations by wildlife (raptor) rehabilitators to show measures taken to rehabilitate birds that are injured so that they may return to their natural habitat. The rehabilitators explain what community members should do if they see a wild animal that appears to be injured. Additionally, several area rescue groups will bring dogs to interact with fair-goers while they share information on the specific breeds and proper animal care providing information on safe pet adoptions and how you can help foster dogs. Groups that will be involved include Homeward Trails, A Forever Home, Virginia German Shepherd Rescue, Oldies But Goodies (Cocker Spaniel) Rescue, and AWLA’s Pit Crew.

Partnership with WalkArlington Walkabout

The Arlington County Fair is proud to partner with WalkArlington and the Columbia Pike Revitalization Organization for the debut of Pike Hike II, the County’s newest Walkabout. The guided walking tour, led by County Board Chairperson Christopher Zimmerman, will debut on Sunday, August 14, from 9:30 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. Starting and ending at the Arlington Career Center, the Pike Hike II route highlights international culinary hot spots, one-of-a-kind shops, landscaped apartments, rolling parkland, quaint bungalows, historic churches, a campus of County facilities and resources, and the popular Sunday Columbia Pike Farmers Market. After hiking the Pike, walkers are encouraged to grab a snack at the Farmers Market and catch a shuttle from the Career Center to enjoy the final day of the fair!
