About Towner County Fair

The Towner County Fair in Cando celebrates a northeastern North Dakota county where the James River's headwaters and the prairie pothole country create productive farmland and exceptional waterfowl habitat — the county's spring wheat, sunflower, and canola farms sustain communities with deep Scandinavian and German immigrant roots.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, grain and sunflower exhibits, local food vendors, and the community spirit of a northeastern North Dakota fair near the Devils Lake basin.

Visitor Tips

Cando sits in the rolling glacial landscape of northeastern North Dakota. The county's prairie pothole wetlands are some of the most productive duck nesting habitat in North America. The name "Cando" reflects the optimistic pioneer spirit of the Norwegian settlers who established the community.
