About Pepin County Fair
The Pepin County Fair in Durand celebrates Wisconsin smallest county by area — nestled along the Mississippi River bluffs where Lake Pepin widens the river, this county is the birthplace of Laura Ingalls Wilder, and the surrounding coulees and river valley define a county of remarkable natural beauty. The area's broader history includes notable events and landmarks dating to 1867.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and the community spirit of a small Mississippi River bluff county with deep agricultural and literary heritage.
