Record-breaking year for Salem Fair
SALEM, Va. – The Salem Fair closed out its 33rd year Sunday night and fair officials say despite an unexpected act of violence on opening night and a few bouts of rain that attendance and revenue were once again very steady.
“Our fair fans are very loyal, and their loyalty was tested this year more than ever,” says Wendy Delano, Salem Director of Civic Facilities. “We appreciate everyone working with us on the necessary updates to our admission policy and security measures after the fair was already underway, and for not letting a senseless incident define the region’s most popular summer attraction.”

Vaccine clinic held at Salem Fair
SALEM, Va. – Offering Pfizer and Johnson and Johnson vaccines, the Virginia Department of Health administered hundreds of COVID-19 vaccines at the Salem Fair.
About 200 doses were administered throughout the span of the Salem Fair, and dozens of fair workers rolled up their sleeves to receive their doses too.
With accessibility being an issue in the vaccine rollout, these summer event clinics are helping reach more communities.
“I feel honored that we are able to come out and help those who want to get the vaccine,” Cynthia Vineyard-Brown, a registered nurse, said. “And it makes me think that there’s hope. If we can just get more people to come out and do it.”
