The Tennessee Valley Fair takes place every September and lasts ten days. The Tennessee Valley Fair is a non-profit organization that exists to celebrate and promote agricultural heritage, family values, and individual life skills in our community with an emphasis on youth development activities through exhibits, tours and the funding of scholarships. The Tennessee Valley Fair showcases traditions of the past, emphasizes ingenuity in Tennessee through the products of the present and supports the vision of the future in the areas of agriculture, trade, and industry. The Tennessee Valley Fair will celebrate its 100th Fair in 2019. HistoryThe precursor to the Tennessee Valley Fair was the Appalachian Exposition of 1910 and 1911. After the success of the two Appalachian Expositions, organizers saw an opportunity for an even larger event, and the National Conservation Exposition was held in 1913. After, the organizers saw a need for a yearly fair and the first East Tennessee Division Fair was held in 1916. The Fair was not held in 1917 or 1918 due to influenza outbreak but began again in 1919. The fair was later rechartered as a non-profit organization and renamed the Tennessee Valley Agricultural and Industrial Fair in 1932 - the 1933 fair was the first Fair operating under the new name. The Fair has been held every year since 1910 except for 1912, 1914-1915, 1917-1918, and 1942-1945. The Tennessee Valley Fair is celebrating 100 years in 2019.
