Dutchess County Agricultural Society Review

I came here for the Sheep and Wool Festival and was in awe of everything, including the koi pond!

The fear has features for all ages. Music, events, rides, crafts and food.

It's a nice place to people watch. Everyone is wearing beautiful scarfs, shawls, or sweaters that they made. A great fashion show! Of course there is the fiber and everything that goes along with.

Went to country living fair..not the same. Not as many vendors as they used to have

I attend two events here each year - the Dutchess County Fair and the NY Sheep and Wool Festival.

A few things stand out:

1) Super organized when it comes to traffic flow and parking. There are always tons of people directing the flow into the parking areas. There are usually police directing the flow of traffic from the road. Excellent. Every time.

2) Bathrooms. There are many. They are spread out, so you never have walk too far to reach one. And they are very clean and always functional. (no smelly stalls and broken locks here) There are usually people in them directing folks to empty stalls to help speed the line along. (obviously, I'm talking about the women's restroom)

3) The grounds are just lovely. Lots of trees, plenty of space. Good variety of areas - shady, sunny, etc. Well maintained. Clean.

A variety of events are here every year. The Dutchess County Fair is huge and a lot of fun for children of all ages but it's on the pricey side.

Beautiful fairgrounds. Very clean and well maintained. Lovely setting

We love coming here for the Dutchess County Fair. Food is great, parking is plentiful, and the kids never want to leave.

Fun but unfortunately it was to crazy in the parking area

Great as always. But did not see the coconut shrimp

Family fun, bring your own food unless your ready to spend big bucks!

Great food, great drinks, wines, beers,vodkas, whiskey 'a, and craft beers. We are still enjoying everything, does not close until 6p.m. also great band@

Always love going to the Duchess County Sheep and Wool Festival.

I have so much fun every year, it's so awesome, I'm never going to miss a year of it!!

Best county fair I've ever been to, bar none. Food, rides, entertainment and even education in spades.

Great vendors and plantybfo things to do like rides bike show, museum

What can I say. This Agricultural Fair by far super exceeded what I thought. When you attend this Event, keep in mind U R promoting / supporting local businesses as well. People come from many of the surrounding states to partake in this wondrous event. Open your mind & learn about something that you didn't know before!!!

Beautiful venue with many ammenities. The food options are diverse and wonderful. The rolling countryside adds a great ambiance. Only drawback was the sounds system was lacking

very well maintained, clean, safe (entirely fenced in). bathrooms are large and clean.

Fun for the family, with animals and information and learning experiences. 15$ admission for adults, or over 11. Rides, however, are 4 tickets each, approx $5 a ride. ?! Food is expensive as well, bottle of water for $3 (you can't bring your own in) in a place where you walk a lot and get pretty thirsty! Great to see the 4H and farms represented. Just eat prior to visiting.

Too expensive. You pay for parking along for the entrance and to get on the rides smh that's ridiculous. On top of that it's not that big. I rather go to the ulster county fair

Had a fun time seeing the local crafts exhibitors and the food vendors made it even more enjoyable.

1 Fries, 1 burger, 1 hotdog and 3cups of soda for 32 dollars, 24 to get in and see nothing we wanted. Oh well, at least it was a beautiful day to waste somewhere.

Love the Dutchess county fairgrounds! They have so many great events!

They keep this place really clean, during the fair they have tractors driving around picking up trash and recycling. I can only speak about the actual fair because that's the only time I've been there.

Good going to the hot air balloon show weekend of the 12th to take photos

I attended the Sheep and Wool Festival here and it s honestly the perfect spot for it. The layout of the fairgrounds makes it easy to move seamlessly throughout the event. It s also absolutely gorgeous in October

Always a a great place to go in the summer. Tons of get events always taking place. Just keep an eye out for them.

Stella Show Management holds a weekend event here for Country Living Magazine. This was our first trip to Rhinebeck for this show.
The Dutchess County Fairgrounds is the perfect venue for this event. Most vendors are inside should the weather be disagreeable. There are plenty of restrooms, which were attended throughout the day. The food vendors were set up together making choices easier.
Photo ops were available along the way.
The grounds themselves are well taken care with gardens throughout. Seating available on benches and in the shade. Truly a lovely place.

Went to the wine festival for the second time it was great the people were green the food choices were great the wine and liquor choices were great we had a fantastic time plan to go next year

We drove up for the AMA show from long island. It was the worst show and a complete waste of time and money

A great spot to visit for whatever event you might enjoy! I highly suggest the Dutchess County Fair!

Was at the Dutchess County Fairgrounds for their annual fair and had a great time!

Great food, lots of animals for kids to see and great environment.

Awesome place to go with family and friends. So much great food and so many venders. Many things for children of all ages

Beautiful park, went to the fair there and had a great day.

Exactly what you imagine a county Fair should be like at the end if Summer. Tons of different food vendors, crafts, music, rides and games. This fair has everything from pig races to homemade bread loafs to jugglers and everything in between. Would highly recommend going at least once in your life!

Great grounds, always different events.. Parking for everyone, handicap etc. Bathrooms always clean..

This year will be my kids and I 4th year going! From the rides, to the food, the animals and the 2 buildings where you can taste what the vendors are selling and also smell the awesome natural products that are being sold....This is the place to be!!! Food court is to die for...To many to count!

Advice...Get their early because it gets packed from the moment they open until they close at night! And you can purchase your tickets in advance to skip the lines!

Great terrain for walking and lots to take in during festivities.

Good guys has a great car show there for u car lovers in June

As an adult i always get sick for going there idk why

My yearly trip to the dutchess county fair was another year of great family memories made.

They throw a great fair. Will definitely return next year

Wonderful setting for any event. I went to Sheep and Wool fest, and there were many food truck options for lunch, easy to find and clean restrooms with attendants to keep lines moving, and a lovely country aetting.

My favorite fair. Great prices, attractions and food.

Went here with the family for the craft fair. Great atmosphere, wonderful parking. Was a very clean place to walk around and very clean bathrooms.

Best steak sandwich in the world. Enjoyed the dog show and all the animals.

Great location for the yearly antique auto flea market.

Great country fair!! Food and great people watching!!!

They have a lot of great events there. I just wish it was easy to get to.

Beautiful grounds and the Country Living fair was awesome, as always!

It's hard to separate the venue from the event. We went for NY Sheep and Wool, which was quite packed and therefore stressful. The venue seemed nice, though!

So much fun, had a blast with my family and my best friend!!

Good place to hold large outdoor events. Only one area for restrooms near the front entrance makes things inconvenient, but their staff works hard to keep them clean.

Great time, good weather rib sandwiches are the best

Quintessential country county fair. Stop by the 4H milk shake stand to support a good cause and have a delicious shake!

Amazing place love the balloons and the food was amazing people were very friendly

Went to the Sheep and Wool festival. Traffic was a nightmare, crowds were huge and the lines and wait times were horrific.
