State Fair of Virginia

The State Fair of Virginia Ed Expo is home to Virginia’s Largest Outdoor Classroom, welcoming over 13,000 students annually for field trips, competitions and scholarship opportunities during the State Fair. In 2024, The State Fair of Virginia hosted record student numbers, representing 78 counties and 30 independent cities in Virginia.

Transportation costs can range from $300 to $2,200 for schools, depending on distance and availability of transportation if motorcoaches are required. 52% of CTE teachers said transportation limits their ability to bring students to the State Fair of Virginia.

Due to the involvement of this process, contributions must be at least $1,500.

We are creating an avenue for partners like yourself to sponsor schools to help offset their travel costs. Since this opportunity is new, we are focusing specifically on CTE contests and the Youth Career Exploration Day to support teachers and schools offset their participation costs to allow more students to attend and participate.
