The Solanco Fair, a beloved tradition in southern Lancaster County, captures the “wholesome atmosphere” envisioned by its founders in 1950. Born from the initiative of local farm women and agricultural groups, the fair remains a steadfast celebration of rural life and community fellowship.

Held annually in Quarryville, the event is renowned for its parade, iron-lung-defying food like pit poultry, and high-quality livestock exhibits. Visitors can browse diverse competitive displays featuring needlework, baking, and homegrown produce. This three-day September gathering stays true to its roots, offering a family-friendly environment where agricultural heritage and friendly competition take center stage.
