2018 Cumming Fair in Forsyth County
It’s that time of year once again for the Cumming Fair & Festival which begins on Thursday, October 4th and ends on Sunday, October 14th. This year marks the 24th year for the fair that began as a 5-day fair and now has grown to an 11-day event!
Just thinking about the fair makes my mouth water for all the delicious fair food – cotton candy, fresh popcorn, funnel cakes, giant turkey legs, and don’t forget about the deep-fried Snickers or Oreos. The calories eaten at the Fair don’t count, right?
We can’t forget about the rides and games! The famous James H. Drew Exposition returns with the world’s most progressive midway. The Cumming Fair & Festival brings over 40 rides and numerous games. It really is fun for all!
Don’t miss out on the 11 days of family fun!

Daily Attractions:
The daily attractions are taking place at different times/days. Please scroll down and review each of them. {TIP: If I know my family wants to see a particular show, I make sure it will be taking place on the day we go. Then, I put it on our calendar so I don’t forget. These attractions are typically fun to watch. We loved watching Lady Houdini last year!}
