Summer Fun

Starts Right Here.

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 25,000 to 30,000 people annually. 2023 represents our 121st year of celebrating the Stearns County Fair from our original location in Sauk Centre, Minnesota. Camping spots are available on the fairgrounds.
