This year’s fair will be a little different, as we will unfortunately not be having a carnival. Securing a carnival is a challenge, and it is getting more and more difficult, with fewer and fewer carnivals to go around. We have added new events, and we are making sure that there is something out there for everyone. We will have some of the old standbys, and yes, harness racing is back. With that being said, the gate fee will only be $5 per day. Gate admission is a big source of our income for the Fair.
The barns will be full of animals, as in the past. The expo exhibits will once again be in the multipurpose building, as well as various vendors and the infamous 4-H Ice Cream Booth. There will be live music every day. Please look at the schedule for all the fun events happening at the 2025 Gogebic County Fair.
