AUGUSTA, NJ — U.S. Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5) joined Jersey families, farmers, and exhibitors at the 2026 New Jersey State Fair, including the Sussex County Farm and Horse Show, running July 31 through August 8, 10 am – 10 pm on weekends and 12 pm – 10 pm on weekdays, at the Sussex County Fairgrounds in Augusta, New Jersey.

Across the fairgrounds, Gottheimer greeted families, thanked veterans and active-duty service members, toured the 4-H livestock exhibits, met with youth leaders, visited local veteran organizations, and stopped by the locally operated food concessions. 

“The New Jersey State Fair is a Sussex County tradition and one of the best weeks of the summer in North Jersey,” said Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5). “It’s a celebration of our farmers, our 4-H families, our small businesses, and the hardworking folks who make our community such a special place to live. I’m proud to be here supporting the agricultural heritage that’s at the heart of our District, and to see so many families out having a great time together.”

This annual event celebrates North Jersey’s rich farming heritage with livestock and 4-H competitions, the Sussex County Horse Show, live entertainment, rides, and family activities drawing tens of thousands of visitors each year.
