About Itasca County Fair

Grand Rapids is home to the Itasca County Fair, which brings together the mining, timber, and agricultural communities of north-central Minnesota's lake and forest country. Grand Rapids sits near the headwaters of the Mississippi River and serves as the hub of the Iron Range's western edge.

What to Expect

Livestock shows, 4-H competitions, carnival rides, grandstand entertainment, and local food vendors celebrate the diverse communities of Itasca County each late August.

Visitor Tips

Grand Rapids is the gateway to the Chippewa National Forest and Mississippi headwaters country — plan a canoe trip or lake outing alongside your fairgrounds visit.
