The Rockingham County Fair Association is a non-profit organization that manages the Rockingham County Fair; the state of Virginia's biggest agricultural county fair, featuring exhibitions and events devoted to the presentation and promotion of farm life and food production. The fair is held annually, just south of Harrisonburg, Virginia at the Rockingham County Fairgrounds on US Rt. 11. A board of directors is elected by the membership composed of 51 civic and service clubs from Rockingham County and the City of Harrisonburg, Virginia. Volunteers contribute over 13,000 hours of labor each year to ensure the success of the fair.〔"Rockingham County Fair History." Rockingham County Fair Association Annual Meeting.

The first Rockingham County Fair was held at the Linville Ball Park, August 31 - September 3, 1949. Many, smaller fairs were held before 1949 at Ed's Park at Rawley Springs, and in Harrisonburg on the Whitesel-Sit lot and at the present location of Memorial Stadium. From 1950-1951, the fair was four days long, from 1952–1963, five days long, and since 1964, the fair has run for six days.〔
The fair has been held at the present site on US Rt. 11 since 1980. The fairgrounds account for 111 acres of land, a exhibit hall for display of local creative arts, homemaking skills and commercial exhibits. In addition, the grounds include a barn complex with a capacity of 1,100 head of hogs, sheep, beef cattle, dairy cattle and goats, a building for horticulture, flowers and farm crop displays, a building for poultry/rabbit exhibits, and food booths run by local civic clubs. There is also a grandstand, which seats 4,000 people, plus another 2,500 at ground level. The barn complex is approximately of space under-roof. There is parking on the grounds for over 7,000 cars.
