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 120 Chairmen and 2,000 volunteers who come together each year to plan and staff food and merchandise booths alike. It’s quite an undertaking!
Much like the Devon Horse Show, the Country Fair has created its own traditions through the years. Generations of families fondly recall memories of selling (and eating) lemon sticks and the famous Devon fudge. Whether it’s collecting souvenir pins, scooping ice cream, selling Derby chances, or viewing the Devon skyline from the ferris wheel, the Devon Country Fair has permanently woven itself into the fabric of many on the Main Line. Attending the fair holds a special spot in people’s hearts but volunteering at the fair has proven to be a generational identity for many.
We are always looking for new volunteers! If you want to make Devon your tradition, e-mail us at volunteer@devonhorseshow.com to find out more.

Art Gallery at Devon
The Art Gallery at Devon exhibits juried works from over sixty artists, both new and returning to Devon. Many pieces are by local and regional artists and feature pastoral and equestrian representations of Chester County and the surrounding areas. A wide variety of techniques and mediums are featured including oil, acrylic, pastel, charcoal, photography, and bronze in sizes ranging from miniatures to large pieces.
Along with returning favorites, the gallery will welcome 12 new artists this year including, for the first time, two whom we will feature in our “Young Artist” collection. These individuals are local, young, and up and coming talents.
A meet and greet signing event with Shawn Faust, our 2023 poster artist, will take place on Sunday, May 27 from 11am-1pm. Additionally, The Art Gallery will host demonstrations by a variety of artists showcasing their individual medium and technique.
For a first look at this year’s spectacular works, consider attending First Night at Devon. This is the premier kick-off event for the Devon Horse Show and Country Fair. This festive evening features an open bar and gourmet fare and annually draws an intimate gathering of 200 guests complete with the company of exhibiting artists and like-minded friends of art, horsemanship, and philanthropy. Guests of First Night at Devon are among the first to preview and purchase original art from locally and nationally recognized artists. Guests will have the exclusive opportunity to meet many of the artists and stroll the horse show grounds without the big crowds. First Night at Devon takes place Wednesday, May 24th from 6-9:00 pm, tickets are $125.00 per person.
If you can’t get to the Art Gallery at Devon in person this year, or perhaps decide you simply must purchase that other piece you just loved, we will continue to feature our artists’ available work in an online gallery as well. The website will go live on the first day of the horse show, please visit, https://artgallery.devonhorseshow.net

Information Booth
Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or new to Devon, everyone has a question now and again. The volunteers in the information booth, located just inside the main gate, are happy to help! Feel free to stop by and pick up Devon inserts from the local news outlets, see what’s where, peruse the menu for the Garden Café, check out the daily schedule, find your seat, or just about anything else you need to know. Information also serves as the “lost and found” – good information!
