About Lake County Fair

The Lake County Fair in Baldwin celebrates the Pere Marquette River country of west-central Michigan — Lake County's cold, spring-fed rivers are among the finest steelhead and salmon streams in the Midwest, and the county's National Forest lands, small farms, and Native American (Little River Band of Ottawa Indians) community come together at a fair in one of Michigan's most affordable and authentically rural counties.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, fishing and forestry exhibits, local food vendors, and the community spirit of a west-central Michigan county where the Pere Marquette River and the Manistee National Forest define daily life.
