Fair Highlights

Typical offerings include livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, local artisan food vendors, live music, carnival rides, and a fair drawing from both Sandpoint's arts community and the county's agricultural and timber families.

Planning Your Visit

Lake Pend Oreille — one of the deepest lakes in North America — is famous for its Kamloops rainbow trout and its role in US Navy submarine testing during World War II. Sandpoint's Festival at Sandpoint summer music series and the Schweitzer Mountain ski resort define a resort-agricultural community of considerable vitality.

A Closer Look

Held annually in Sandpoint, the Bonner County Fair celebrates Lake Pend Oreille country — Sandpoint is one of the Pacific Northwest's premier small cities, situated between the lake and the Selkirk Mountains where world-class skiing at Schweitzer Mountain, excellent lake sailing, and a thriving arts community attract visitors and new residents from across the country.
