Carousel at Frying Pan Farm Park
Following the harsh winter, Frying Pan Farm Park's much-loved carousel (pictured) is no longer operational. Fairfax County Park Foundation welcomes contributions to help fund a replacement carousel in the future!
Fairfax County Carnival and Fair
The Annual Fairfax County Carnival & Fair was held at Frying Pan Farm Park from July 30 to August 2, 2026.
The annual Carnival and Fair is full of multi-generational family fun with carnival rides, animal demos, farm animal competitions, baked goods and produce competitions, and pie eating and watermelon seed spitting contests. Four days are filled with fresh air, farm fun and good times for you, your friends, family and neighbors. You'll see livestock and exhibits, enjoy delicious fair food, and you can enter your creation in the fair and try your hand at milking a cow or goat. Don’t miss the carnival rides, games and live entertainment.
Sponsorship opportunities with recognition are available through the Fairfax County Park Foundation. Levels and benefits are listed in the
Fairfax County Carnival and Fair Sponsorship Prospectus.
This popular 4-day event attracts more than 27,000 people making it the Fairfax County Park Authority’s most highly attended program!
