The 171st edition of Lake County Fair will run July 28–August 2, 2026 at the county fairgrounds on Mentor Avenue in Painesville Township. 

The 2026 fair will be packed with fun for the whole family and will feature all the favorite traditions and more. Two demo derbies will headline the week’s entertainment line-up and regular favorites like the monster truck show, a truck and tractor pull, and KOI dirt track drag racing will all return. Great music along with the K-9 Performance Dogs will highlight this year’s free on-grounds acts.

The fair starts on Tuesday, July 28. You won’t want to miss the opening day parade starting at 6 p.m. followed by a demo derby. 

Wednesday is Family Day. Families of four or more will be admitted for $10 each including ride privileges.  

Thursday is Kids Day with free admission for ages 14 and under when accompanied by an adult.
