The Porter County Fair scheduled to run July 23rd thru August 1st 2026
The Grandstand was scheduled to feature top-notch entertainment every evening of the Porter County Fair. Other than first-class concerts you can experience planned was the Fireworks, demolition derbies, tractor pulls, Horse Shows and more! “A fair must continually evolve,” stated Dave Bagnall,” Fair Manager.
After much discussion and careful consideration for the well-being of our fair volunteers, vendors, and patrons, and due to the recent regulations set by the Purdue Extension (the governing body of Indiana 4-H), . 4-H Exhibitions will be held digitally, and Grandstand concerts . Ticket holders will receive an email with updates, and given an opportunity to refund their tickets within the next week.
We understand that many of you will have questions, and ask that you first refer to our website: www.PorterCountyFair.com/ for answers. Our volunteers will do their best to respond to your comments and messages as soon as possible.
The fair is put on entirely by volunteers who put their blood, sweat, tears, and love into the fair—and we are as heartbroken as you are. Please respect those who work hard to make the fair a reality every year and refrain from negativity during this time. We would like to thank our volunteers, and the entertainment, food, retail, and carnival vendors, for their understanding. We hope to see you all next year when Porter County Fair will return stronger than ever in the future.
