Where will I park?
Everyone parks in the general free parking area. There is no parking allowed along Snickersville Turnpike in the Fair area at any time before or during fair hours.
What are the times that one-way traffic is in effect?
Snickersville Turnpike will be one-way east bound from Clayton Hall Road to Yellow Schoolhouse Road from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on the Saturday of the fair and 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Sunday. Everyone's cooperation will be GREATLY appreciated.
Where can I get drinking water?
Drinking water will be available at numerous vendors and for sale by local scout organizations.
Is there an ATM in Bluemont?
No. There are ATMs in the nearby towns of Round Hill and Purcellville.
Can I get change in Bluemont?
No.
Are there any areas that are difficult for people with disabilities?
Bluemont is set in the foothills of the Blue Ridge and the main road through the village does slope some which can make it difficult for non-motorized wheelchairs to manage. Several of the exhibitor areas, and the main parking lot, are pastures when the fair isn't going on and while we try to keep them mowed and fairly flat, they may be difficult for non-sure footed patrons to navigate. Several of the smoother areas are accessed via gravel driveways which can be a struggle for strollers and wheelchairs to manage although most do not have too much trouble. Lastly, our art show is upstairs at the Lake Store. We do have designated handicap parking which is closer to the entrance gates.
Where are the restrooms?
There are more than a two dozen port-a-johns strategically placed throughout the fair. They are serviced every night. There are handicap accessible port-a-johns at the back of the Bluemont Community Center and at Neilson's lot. Several port-a-johns are located in the parking area and there is at least one port-a-john in each exhibitor area. Please refer to the fair map for specific locations.
