Bear Lake is famous for its raspberries — pick up raspberry shakes or fresh berries at roadside stands throughout Paris and Montpelier while you're in the area for the fair.
What You'll Find There
Expect 4-H livestock competitions, open-class exhibits, local produce displays, and small-town fair entertainment that reflects the valley's pioneer heritage and strong community bonds.
The Fair
Every year, Paris hosts the Bear Lake County Fair, which sits in the high valley near the Idaho-Utah border, where the stunning turquoise waters of Bear Lake — nicknamed the Caribbean of the Rockies — draw summer visitors to one of Idaho's most scenic corners. The fair serves a tight-knit farming and ranching community that has gathered here for generations amid the valley's hay meadows and raspberry fields.
