It's almost time!

We worked hard. We made changes. We moved to a free gate and secured several sponsors to incorporate ag and sensory displays.

We can't wait to see you for the 2026 Grand Forks Fair.

We can't wait to continue to grow with our community to a place where memories are made, bellies are full of mouth watering food from our fabulous vendors, and everyone leaves with a smile.

Grab the Mega pass now before sales close opening day of the fair.

Watch for daily ride passes to go on sale at our midway providers website https://amp4fun.magicmoneyllc.com/MagicMoney_Web/ETicket/UpcomingEvents

We will see YOU at the fair.

P.s. Ferris is suiting up for a game of hide and seek 6/16/2026. Stay tuned for clues to see if you can find him before opening day of the fair!
