About Grand Forks County Fair
The Grand Forks County Fair in Grand Forks celebrates the University of North Dakota and the Red River Valley's most significant border city — Grand Forks and East Grand Forks, Minnesota, straddle the Red River in a university metro area that was devastated by the catastrophic 1997 Red River flood and has rebuilt as one of the Northern Plains' most vibrant communities.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, Red River Valley sugar beet and grain exhibits, carnival rides, live entertainment, local food vendors, and a well-organized fair drawing from the greater Grand Forks metro area.
Visitor Tips
The University of North Dakota's medical school and aerospace program make Grand Forks a center of higher education and research. The Greenway flood protection system built after the 1997 disaster transformed the Red River waterfront into a major recreation corridor. Ralph Engelstad Arena is one of the finest college hockey venues in America.
