The 2025 Lorain County Fair – our 179th Anniversary – will be August 17-24!

UPDATE:  At the August 13 Fair Board meeting, the parking committee informed the Board they made the decision to move the reserved parking by Pitts Road with a shuttle service running daily from 6:00 am to midnight.  Refunds will be given in cash at the office starting on August 15 through Sunday, August 18 @ 6:00 pm.  You must have your permit with you to receive a refund.  They can also be put in the drop box in the front of the office by that deadline or mailed and postmarked by August 19.  For passes mailed or put in the drop box, refunds will be issued by check and mailed no later than September 10 to the contact name and address on your application.  Please note any changes to the contact information.  Even if you request a refund, you will have your same spot number next year but the spot may not be in the same location, which will be determined when letters are sent out in May of 2025.
