In 2023, around 275,000 people attended the Canfield Fair.

This year’s six-day attendance number dropped slightly to 273,709, according to Timm Schreiber, Canfield Fair Board Director in charge of admissions.

“Considering the extreme temperatures we had at the start of the 178th Canfield Fair, we had an incredibly strong finish which speaks to the commitment of the Mahoning Valley to the Fair and the traditions that go along with it,” said Schreiber.
