About Us

The Alpena County Fair has been a proud tradition since 1875, serving as a celebration of agriculture, community, and heritage.

Organized by the Alpena County Fair Society, the fair continues to bring people together through:

• Agricultural education and youth development
• Community involvement and volunteerism
• Family-friendly entertainment rooted in tradition

More than just an event, the fair is a place where generations connect—where young exhibitors learn valuable life skills, and visitors gain a deeper appreciation for farming, craftsmanship, and local culture.

Each year, the fair evolves with new attractions while preserving the traditions that make it a beloved community staple.
