Rice County Fair

About Rice County Fair

The Rice County Fair in Faribault showcases the agricultural heritage of south-central Minnesota's river valley country. Faribault sits at the confluence of the Straight and Cannon Rivers and has been a center of dairy and grain farming for generations.

What to Expect

Visitors enjoy livestock shows, 4-H competitions, carnival rides, local food vendors, and community entertainment over a full week in late July.

Visitor Tips

Faribault is home to several notable institutions — the historic downtown and surrounding lakes make it a worthwhile destination beyond the fairgrounds.
