Family-Fun Entertainment!

We have something for everyone at the Dickinson County Fairgrounds. We invite everyone to the Annual Fair on Labor Day Weekend in Norway, Michigan. Join us to enjoy the tradition and family entertainment that the Annual Dickinson County Fair is sure to provide! The fair is a fun-filled learning environment and experience where young family members can learn about and experience what agriculture is and how it is the basis of our own existence. This year we are celebrating our 113th fair.
