The 4-H Fair is free and will run from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. at North Branch Park in Bridgewater each day, offering three days of entertainment, food, and family fun for all ages. Dedicated members of the 4-H youth organization will host a diverse range of activities found in various tents at the fairgrounds. Attendees can look forward to experiencing the pride of community engagement and enjoying the animal exhibits, science exhibits, and art displays created by talented 4-H members, as well as local vendors, offerings from other departments of the Somerset County Rutgers Cooperative Extension, and a variety of offerings from Somerset County.

“August in Somerset County means the 4-H Fair at North Branch Park, the largest event we host and in my opinion one of the best,” said Commissioner Director Shanel Y. Robinson in a release through Somerset County. “Seeing the 4-H members showing off the animals and projects they worked on the whole year is wonderful, and Somerset County is thrilled to be a part of the experience.”

The Somerset County 4-H Fair was voted as an “Outstanding Event” by Somerset County Tourism in 2020. This year will be the 76th Fair.

Beyond its members, the value of 4-H extends to the larger community. Through various community outreach projects and public events, 4-H contributes to youth development and education throughout Somerset County. The Fair serves as a showcase of the accomplishments of 4-H youth members, allowing them to take pride in their work and share their knowledge with the community.

The 4-H Association takes great pride in the accomplishments of its members throughout the year, and the Fair serves as an opportunity to showcase the time and energy invested in the 4-H program.
