More About Allegany County Fairgrounds
The Cumberland Fairgrounds immediately became a favorite gathering place for the community, especially during the horse races. Races were restricted to a two week meet held in conjunction with the Cumberland Fair. Cumberland’s racing dates were sold to other tracks in 1962. Beginning in 1967 stock car and USAC Sprint car races took up where the horses left off with drivers such as Mario Andretti eating up the track. Today, every Saturday from April – October, spectators thrill to the revved up engines of stock car racing at the fairgrounds.
Since the fairgrounds opened, every July or August has been fair month in Allegany County. A variety of exhibition halls, barns, and stables were built throughout the fairgrounds to house the architectural displays. Farm animals of all kinds have been an integral part of the fair. Generations of farm queens, blue ribbons, animal auctions, and children riding rides play an important role in the history of the Allegany County Fairgrounds.
Generations of kids and adults have thrilled to the sights, sounds, and actions of the Allegany County Fair. Today, just as it was in 1924, the Allegany County Fairgrounds is a hub of activities for the citizens of Allegany County.
