Come to the Fair!
The Devon Country Fair is all about traditions! As the philanthropic arm of the Devon Horse Show and Country Fair this committee has over 100 Chairmen and 2,000 volunteers who come together each year to plan and staff food and other booths. It’s quite an undertaking!
Country Fair traditions are many including; yummy lemon sticks, lots of fun candy and the iconic Devon fudge. The annual souvenir pin is another fun tradition, many collect the pins and add to their lanyards. Most of all, the Country Fair is a tradition of so many coming together as a community whether it is to scoop ice cream or sell Derby chances.
Let’s not forget another Devon tradition: the unpredictable weather! Indeed the Country Fair has something for everyone. We are always looking for new volunteers so if you want to join in and make Devon your tradition, join us at the Volunteer Appreciation Party on Sunday, April 29th on the Horse Show Grounds beginning at 4:00 p.m. or click here to sign up to volunteer. You may also e-mail us at volunteer@devonhorseshow.org.
All proceeds from the Devon Country Fair are donated to Bryn Mawr Hospital, another long standing and honored tradition.

Tea Cart
The Devon Tea Cart is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. While the silver tea service is long gone, tea sandwiches and specialty baked goods remain very popular. Tea Cart opens at 7 a.m. daily several breakfast options including quiche (new this year). Of course, the iced tea with fresh mint sprigs is a staple.
Food Alley
Though we are not really sure how this name came about, Devon does offer food options for everyone. The hamburger booth is known for the classic Devon Special (a burger and fries combo) as well as grilled chicken sandwiches and pizza. Many opt for the made to order fresh salads or wraps at the Salad booth but most everyone stops by the ice cream booth for a big scoop of Bassett’s ice cream (mint chocolate chip is the #1 seller). The picnic grove in front of the Pavilion provides a nice shaded area with plenty of room to sit ad enjoy your food.
Souvenirs
The Devon Souvenir booth is nothing less than amazing, in fact, it takes several times there to see everything that is offered. As with all booths, Souvenirs is run by volunteers who scour gift shows and apparel retailers all year looking for the newest trends and time honored classics. Traditional baseball caps, sweatshirts and other logoed apparel fly off the shelves. The booth also has expanded into a large selection of home and giftware. Check out the Souvenir On-line Store for merchandise year round.
The younger set will love the Devon Kids/Future Champions store with everything from plush to gear for the young horse enthusiast.
Art Gallery at Devon
Since its beginning in 1999, the Art Gallery has displayed and sold beautiful pieces from paintings to sculptures. What many don’t realize it that this is a juried art show which includes over 500 exhibits each year.
The night before Devon’s official opening, the Art Gallery hosts First Night at Devon, an elegant event for guests to preview and purchase art prior to the opening. This year’s event will be held, Wednesday, May 22nd, for more information, please click here.

There is also plenty of carnival food such as funnel cakes and fried Oreos to keep the adults happy while waiting for the kids. The Midway is open every day from 10 a.m. (11 a.m. on the first Sunday) to the close of the show.
