About Erie County Fair

Every year, Sandusky hosts the Erie County Fair, which offers a classic Ohio county fair experience in a region better known for Cedar Point and Lake Erie. With roots going back to 1851, it's among Ohio's oldest continuously held fairs. It serves as a community anchor for the agricultural heritage of Erie County beyond its famous tourist attractions.

What to Expect

Livestock shows, 4-H exhibits, a carnival midway, and grandstand entertainment are the main draws.
