About this Venue
he Cheboygan County Fair has a rich tradition of hosting exceptional agricultural, livestock and equestrian events. All week a variety of animals are on display in our several comfortable large barns.
The Cheboygan County Youth Livestock Program in co-operation with Michigan State University 4-H program hosts the Annual Youth Livestock Auction on the final Saturday of fair. This auction is your opportunity to purchase livestock products that are much higher in quality than what you buy at your grocery store while also supporting hard working youth from the community.
History
Our fair has a long and proud history and we make history every year.
It first held in September 1878 on the grounds of the Cheboygan Horse Association, then moved to O’Brien’s Grove, and was also held in Wolverine for a time. However, in the late 1940’s the Spies family sold the 30 acres which is now the Cheboygan County Fairgrounds to Cheboygan County Fair Association for $1.00 because they believed the Fair should be held at the location of the county seat. It has taken place there ever since and has grown into one of Michigan’s premier county fairs.
Each year the Cheboygan County Fair hosts over 25,000 guests from all over the region during an eight day period. This results in significant economic gains for the local economy and presents exceptional opportunities for both IR young and old to enjoy and participate in the magic a great county fair.
