The Ocean County Fair has been a staple event in Ocean County since 1947. By 1967, the one-day "Ocean County Field Day" had become a three-day "Ocean County Fair" with the participation of over 80 4-H clubs, and attendance of over 60,000 people.


In 1982 the Ocean County Fair was expanded to a four-day event. Today, the Ocean County Fair is held for five days from Wednesday to Sunday where it has remained a non-profit educational event celebrating the entire Ocean County community.
