The Arlington County Fair is proud to showcase the best of Arlington and our neighboring communities! Join us at the Entertainment Tent Saturday and Sunday as we host a variety of local music groups and solo performers.
The Entertainment Tent is on the tennis court and hosts performers Thursday through Sunday. Seating is provided under a tent and Fair-goers are encouraged to grab some fair food for a picnic and cheer on the performers.
