Lake County Fair

August 2-11, 2019

Beginning in 1852, the Lake County Fair was created by the Lake County Agricultural Society to gather the county together and showcase the incredible agriculture in the area.

Today, the Lake County Fair still sticks to its agricultural roots while adding a modern twist. The fair hosts exciting grandstand events, horse shows, farm animals and thousands of exhibits promoting the diverse talents of Lake County.

The fair also provides a carnival area with more than 30 rides, a free petting zoo, live entertainment and motorsports, a free fireworks show, contests and a delicious variety of food from hundreds of concessions.
