Schedule changes below for livestock exhibitors:
To best enhance the exhibiting experience for competitors across the state, and to allow as much county fair participation as possible, the 2026 Ohio State Fair livestock competitions will be condensed to 15 days. By removing a week of pre-Fair livestock showing, all species will have the opportunity to exhibit during the 12 days of the Ohio State Fair, increasing their exposure and allowing general fairgoers the opportunity to experience shows across all species.
See an initial dated species schedule below. A more detailed schedule will be released at a later date at ohiostatefair.com/p/get-involved/livestock/livestock-schedule
