About Bayfield County Fair

The Bayfield County Fair, based in Washburn, is an early August fair in Wisconsin's northernmost county, sitting on the shores of Chequamegon Bay along Lake Superior. Bayfield County is home to the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, one of the region's most spectacular natural attractions.

What to Expect

Livestock exhibits, 4-H competitions, carnival rides, and community entertainment serve this small but vibrant northern Wisconsin community.

Visitor Tips

The Apostle Islands are a short ferry ride from the city of Bayfield — combine the fair with a sea kayaking tour or a ferry trip to one of the islands.
