About Oscoda County Fair

The Oscoda County Fair in Mio celebrates the Au Sable River's headwaters country in northeast-central Michigan, where the Kirtland's warbler — one of America's rarest songbirds — nests in the young jack pine forests managed specifically for this endangered species, and where small farming, logging, and the outdoor recreation economy sustain communities in the northern Lower Peninsula.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, forestry and wildlife exhibits, local food vendors, and the small-county community spirit of a northern Michigan county where the Au Sable River and the Kirtland's warbler are the defining natural features.
