Charles Country Fair is an annual fair held at the Charles County Fairground in La Plata. This is a great time of year for kids and adults. The fair started September 17th and ended September 20th. This year the fair celebrated 353 years of existence.  Attendees can experience pig races, livestock, arts & crafts, games, carnival rides, food, pony rides, live entertainment and so much more. Located on 30 acres, this is a great place to bring the family, or to just hang out with some friends.
