About the Fair

Over 100,000 Lake County, Illinois residents gather each year for the annual Lake County Fair. By participating as an exhibitor, your business or organization has the unique opportunity to reach an engaged audience and help contribute to creating new memories and traditions for a diverse audience.

The Lake County Fair embodies the concept of continuity. Each year, since 1861, the county population gathers on the Lake County Fair Grounds to compete, to eat, to dance, to listen to live music, to see prize-winning livestock, champion horses, dairy goats, pies and canned goods, take a ride on a carnival attraction and experience a wide variety of quality entertainment. 21st century visitors experience everything from a Queen Pageant, a great rock and roll band, Beer Gardens, horse shows, a demolition derby, motocross and a tractor pull. The overall old fashioned ambience of the event belies it's very modern components and this dichotomy adds a lot of it's charm. Visitors experience the county's agricultural heritage, and its strong sense of community- something not common in today's fast paced world. The Lake County Fair is at once a visit to the past, the present and the future.
