At many fairs, you pay at the gate, pay at the Carnival Midway, pay for the Grandstand Concerts, pay for watching the Harness Racing or Grandstand shows …. it can get very expensive!

At the Gogebic County Fair, we have an “All Inclusive Price Program”. When entering the fair, and you pay your gate admission, (per person ages 4 and up) a wristband is placed on your wrist and you can enjoy the fair all day. Free Carnival Rides, Free Grandstand Shows and Free Events on the grounds! If you need to leave the fair and you want to return the same day, you can re-enter the fair with your wristband FREE!, and enjoy the events, concerts and the K&M Carnival Rides!

The only other money you will spend at the fair is for to purchase merchandise on the grounds from one of our many vendors. Enjoy Harness Racing, Grandstand Concerts & Shows, On Ground Entertainment and the Carnival rides for FREE!

This may sound to good to be true, but it really is true! And if you are looking to SAVE even more, pick a up a $30.00 Season Pass good for all four days of admission.
