Door County's many state parks, lighthouses, and cherry orchards make this the perfect fair to combine with a longer peninsula vacation — Whitefish Dunes and Peninsula State Park are nearby highlights.

A Closer Look

Every year, Sturgeon Bay hosts the Door County Fair, which is an August tradition on Wisconsin's famous Door Peninsula, a narrow finger of land jutting into Lake Michigan between Green Bay and Lake Michigan proper. Door County is one of Wisconsin's premier tourist destinations, known for cherry orchards, lighthouses, and coastal communities.

Fair Highlights

Livestock shows, 4-H competitions, carnival rides, fair food, and community entertainment serve the permanent residents of this summer tourist destination county.
