Important things to know if you are attending the Florence County Fair in 2024
The 2024 Florence County Fair marks the 120th annual anniversary celebration of our family-friendly tradition. While many items and activities have changed throughout the last 120 years, one very important item has not changed. The Florence County Fair is a celebration of the many and varied talents of our Florence County residents as well as well as serving as a showcase of our County’s agricultural and natural resources.
Parking
There is no charge for parking at the Florence County Fair Park; however, space is limited. Parking will be restricted on County N near the two entry gates to provide visibility for vehicles entering and exiting the fairgrounds. These restricted areas will be marked with ‘no parking’ signs. If the Fair Park parking areas are full, you may park elsewhere and walk in to the fairgrounds.
Additional Costs to Participate?
Once you are at the fair, most of the entertainment and activities are free to watch and participate in. Out of all those activities, there are only three which require an additional entry fee for you to participate in—the Mud Bog, Truck Pull and the Classic Car and Motorcycle Show. These events are free for the general public to watch, so the only additional costs are the entry fees for the events.
All of our music, the draft horse pull, the Truck Pull and the Mud Bog are all free to attend with your paid admission to the fair.
How We Keep Prices Low
Charging admission to the fair is one of the ways that the fair is able to afford to provide the complete schedule of entertainment and activities provided
during the fair. In addition to admission, the fair also operates Lydia’s Kitchen and the Beer Stand during the fair to provide food and beverages to attendees while earning additional money to put towards the fair activities and expenses.
It is important to note that even with our food at the fair, we strive to keep prices our food prices low and affordable. We don’t have our food costs determined yet this year, but last year (for example) we were able to keep our food prices low — charging between $3 and $6 for a sandwich (cheeseburger, hamburger, hot
ham, barbecue, etc.) and just $0.50 to $3.00 for beverages (soda, water, lemonade, milk, coffee, beer, wine coolers, etc.). We also have a variety of
other items we sell such as cheese curds, French fries, nachos, corn on the cob, chips, a wide array of homemade desserts, pies, etc.
Our goal is to keep our 120th Annual County tradition a family-friendly event affordable for everyone who is attending.
We hope to see you there!

Note: There is an price increase in admission for the fair this year. It was not a decision that we made lightly.
The price increase is due to increasing costs to provide you with the entertainment and activities that you have always enjoyed (i.e. Draft Horse Pull, Mud Bog, great Music, etc.) in addition to bringing new events to the fair each year (i.e. Truck Pull).
We understand with rising costs that all of your are impacted individually as well, which is why we are offering to different options to continue to make the fair more affordable for you:
- If you volunteer a shift at the fair or if you assist the fair with a work bee before the fair, you will get in for free.
- There is a weekend pass option which will save you $10 overall if you attend the fair each day.
