Welcome to the 2026 Lake County Fair!

We're excited to welcome you all back for another year of fun at the Lake County Fair! This year's theme, "Campfire Nights Under Carnival Lights" brings all the fun of Summer Camp to our great Fairgrounds. Many of our Still Exhibit classes offer you the opportunity to showcase your talents while utilizing this theme, and we can't wait to see what you produce!

Prior to submitting your entries, please note that there are a couple of changes in FairEntry this year, as well as a few exciting updates.

First things first, PREMIUMS are back for Still Exhibits -- and this year, they're available at the CLASS level! The Lake County Fair will offer $5 Cash Premiums for 1st place ribbon winners whose exhibits best represent the respective class; 2nd place will receive $3, and 3ed place will receive their entry fee back ($2). Be sure to enter multiple classes to increase your chances of winning!

Second, for Livestock Exhibitors seeking to purchase additional Livestock Parking passes and Paid Parent Fair Admission passes, please note that these will no longer be sold in FairEntry. Instead, you will receive a private link via email to purchase these products. For this reason, it is imperative that you double-check the email you're using in FairEntry for accuracy.

Once again, thank you for your interest in showing off your talents at the Lake County Fair!
