Devon Horse Show and Country Fair

The beloved Devon Horse Show is an annual equine tradition dating back to 1896, making it the oldest and largest outdoor multi-breed horse competition in the nation. Held at Chester County’s famous Devon Show Grounds, the pageant features equestrian disciplines, open-air exhibitions and events including a dog show, a carriage showcase and a Memorial Day tribute.

Alongside the competition is the old-fashioned Devon Country Fair, itself an institution since 1919, with a half-dozen pop-up restaurants and plenty of fair food stands, dozens of boutique shopping and souvenir vendors, and a family-friendly Midway featuring a Ferris wheel and carousel.
