Welcome to Our Fair!
Hello Fairgoers
This year’s fair will be a little different—and exciting—as we will be having a carnival at the 2027 Gogebic County Fair! We are currently working hard to finalize the schedule, which will include many of your longtime favorites such as animals, horse shows, harness racing, tractor pedal pull, live music, mud runs, the pie auction, and much more. We’re making sure there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
The barns will be full of animals, just like in years past. Expo exhibits will once again be located in the multipurpose building, along with various vendors and the always-popular 4-H Ice Cream Booth. There will be live music every day, so be sure to check the schedule for all the fun events happening at the 2027 Gogebic County Fair.
With all that being said, the gate fee will be only $5 per day. Gate admission is a big source of income for the Fair, and we truly appreciate your support.
If you have any questions that are not answered in the premium book, please feel free to contact us.
We will have an ATM on the grounds again this year.
We look forward to seeing you at the 2027 Gogebic County Fair!
