Warren County Farmers’ Fair & Balloon Festival Celebrates Big Milestones July 26 – August 2
The Warren County Farmers’ Fair returns to Harmony Township, NJ from July 26 to August 2, 2025, celebrating several major milestones — the county’s 200th anniversary, the 25th anniversary of the Hot Air Balloon Festival, and the 87th year of the Fair itself.
More than just an agricultural fair, the event offers a week of unique competitions and entertainment, including demolition derbies, a rodeo, truck and tractor pulls, fry pan throwing, and the beloved Agricultural Olympics. Attendees can enjoy local music, carnival rides, craft contests, food vendors, and classic fair fare like funnel cake and homemade pies.
Hot air balloons take flight nightly at 6:30 PM, with special appearances from whimsical shapes like Fred G. Monster and a giant birthday cake balloon. Tethered rides are available for $20–$30 per person (weather permitting), and full-flight rides can be reserved in advance by calling 908-283-0721 or emailing fly@balloonfestnj.com.
Special days include Veterans Day (July 27) with free admission for veterans and active-duty military, and Seniors Day (July 28) with free admission for Medicare cardholders and a Senior Expo. For families, the Kids’ Corral features crafts, contests, and a Foam Party on opening day.
Live entertainment ranges from line dancing and square dancing, to performances from local bands like Harmony Garage Band, Reel to Reel, and TimeWhys. Guests can also participate in the Tuesday Talent Show or explore the Traditional Arts Expo showcasing quilting, weaving, and other fiber arts.
Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for kids 6–12, and free for children under 5, with free parking. Advance tickets and a full event schedule are available at www.warrencountyfarmersfair.org.
The event is supported in part by the NJ Division of Travel & Tourism and the Warren County Cultural & Heritage Affairs Division.
