Summer isn’t complete without a trip to the Stearns County Fair. This yearly tradition is a thrill for locals and visitors alike. The fair opens at the end of July and attracts between 30,000 to 35,000 people annually. 2025 represents our 123rd year of celebrating the Stearns County Fair from our original location in Sauk Centre, Minnesota.
