It's that time a again time for the Gwinnett County Fair held at Gwinnett Fairgrounds on Sugarloaf Parkway in Lawrenceville, GA.  

The Fair opened Thursday, September 12 and will run until Sunday, September 22, 2013.  Hours vary and can be found Here.  Admission into the fair is $5.00 for adults and $2.00 for children under 12.

If you plan to enjoy the rides at the fair it's best to get an all day pass at a cost of $25.00 Saturday and Sunday or $20.00 for all other days.  If you choose not to purchase a pass for the day you also have the option of purchasing individual tickets which are $1.00 each or $50.00 for 56 tickets.

The average cost per ride is generally 4-5 tickets.  You will find lots of games and carnival food such as funnel cakes in many flavors, candy apples, popcorn, hot dogs, pizza, and Italian sausage and more.  There is are livestock exhibits, Miss Gwinnett pageants, clown circus and much more.

My children and I had the pleasure of attending the Gwinnett County Fair today.  We first went by early afternoon just to check it out and decided that we would go back in the evening when the weather was a little cooler.

We arrived at the fair at about 6:00pm and we could tell the evenings are definitely very busy at the Gwinnett County Fair. Since we were there earlier we had our hand stamped to re-enter and was able to avoid the long lines for ticket entry.

Parking is free at the fairgrounds but if you go at night be prepared for long lines and you may even find yourself parking nearby and walking into the fairgrounds and lines extend to Five Forks Rd.

Some Gwinnett County schools may even provide a ticket for a free ride.  If you haven't been to the Gwinnett County Fair you should check it out. This was our first time going and we enjoyed it and I think you will too!
