The Orange County Fair is a prominent multi-day community celebration held in Middletown, New York. Serving the Orange County region, the event is known for blending classic county fair elements, such as agricultural competitions and livestock showcases, with contemporary entertainment options including carnival rides and live performances.

In July 2026, a major feature of the fair's entertainment lineup was Circus Murcia. While the fair gained brief media attention due to a localized accident during a crossbow act on a Friday evening, the event remained a significant draw for the public. The performer involved was reported to be in stable condition and was released from medical care shortly after.

Following the incident, the fair continued its operations, with the circus resuming its standard three-performance daily schedule on Saturday, July 25. The event provides a platform for local agriculture while offering a wide range of family-friendly activities and professional entertainment sets.
