Photo Gallery
The Meadow, like the State Fair of Virginia, has a storied past. Its fields echo with the hoofbeats of great racehorses, the sounds of a working plantation and the footfalls of Native Americans who dwelled on its broad expanse as far back as 3,000 B.C.
Its history is one of reclamation and renewal. The land seems to posses deep within its fertile soil a phoenix-like spirit that enables it to rise back to glory when it has fallen.

The Project
Events
An $81 million project at The Meadow Event Park features redevelopment of existing structures as well as construction of new facilities. New facilities include Farm Bureau Center (63,354 sq. ft. exhibition hall), The Meadow Pavilion (6,984 sq. ft. multi-purpose facility), Union Bank & Trust Hall (high-end executive conference center as well as picturesque location for fine Virginia weddings), Southern States Legend Stable (143 stalls serving the equine complex), and four equine show rings. In addition, there are hundreds of acres of useable outdoor space (with infrastructure) that can meet a variety of event needs. Available for facility rental starting in the fall of 2009. Union Bank & Trust Hall is anticipated to be available July, 2010.
Events
SFVA will also operate its signature events, The State Fair of Virginia plus the Meadow Highland Games & Celtic Festival, at The Meadow Event Park starting in the fall of 2009 (attendance from those two events alone should exceed 300,000). SFVA’s Strawberry Hill Races will remain for the time being at Colonial Downs in New Kent County, Virginia.
