About Hartford Fairgrounds

Welcome to Hartford Fairgrounds, managed by the Hartford Independent Agricultural Society in Croton, Ohio. Known for The Hartford Fair — The Biggest Little Fair in the World — the grounds host a variety of events year round, including Demolition Derby, Figure 8, Rough Truck, Auto Cross, and traditional fair activities. Whether you’re a first‑time attendee or a seasoned fairgoer, you’ll find straightforward ticketing, free grandstand and bleacher seating for many events, and practical details to help you plan your visit.

Located at 14028 Fairgrounds Rd NW, Croton, OH 43013, the grounds are easy to reach by car, with free general parking at Gates A and D. For those who prefer options behind Gate A-4, weekly or preferred parking is available for a fee. While there isn’t a formal public transit system running directly to the grounds, some attendees use informal shuttle arrangements or rideshares for convenient access. Nearby towns offer a selection of hotels and dining options to suit a range of budgets and tastes.

We’ve got you covered with helpful insider tips: arrive early for popular events, secure your seats in the free grandstand or bleacher sections, and check local hotels and restaurants near Croton to maximize your stay. If you’re planning a multi-day visit to The Hartford Fair or other events at Hartford Fairgrounds, we recommend coordinating lodging in Sunbury, Granville, Newark, or Mount Vernon for convenient driving and parking options.
