About This Event

A long-standing tradition of family fun featuring a huge carnival midway, music and entertainment pavilion, livestock, and agricultural products.

What to Expect

• 1.You'll see a huge carnival midway, livestock pens, and the music pavilion all in one day so pace yourself and sample a few highlights.
• 2.The crowd is family friendly with lots of kids and curious adults, so you can mingle if you want but lines can get long for popular rides.
• 3.There are classic fair foods to try, bring cash for vendor lines though many stalls now accept cards, and plan a snack break between exhibits.
• 4.Parking near the Suburban Collection Showplace can fill up, so arrive early and allow extra time for walking to the entrances, using the main lot and following signs.
• 5.If you're flying solo, catch a show at the pavilion or chat with vendors between exhibits to break the ice, and wear comfy shoes with a light jacket for indoor and outdoor comfort.
