About Mackinac County Fair

The Mackinac County Fair in St. Ignace celebrates the Upper Peninsula county where Michigan's two peninsulas meet — the Mackinac Bridge, one of the world's longest suspension bridges, connects St. Ignace to the Lower Peninsula, and the county's Mackinac Island (no motorized vehicles allowed), commercial fishing, and small farming operations maintain Straits of Mackinac traditions that go back centuries.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, local food vendors, fishing heritage exhibits, and the community spirit of a county where the famous Mackinac Bridge defines the physical and psychological geography.

Visitor Tips

St. Ignace is the gateway to the Upper Peninsula. Mackinac Island's Grand Hotel, the fudge shops, and the horse-drawn carriage transportation define an anachronistic tourist paradise. The Mackinac Bridge Walk on Labor Day allows pedestrians to cross the 5-mile bridge connecting Michigan's two peninsulas.
