It all began in 1854 when a group of men from the Lake City Agricultural Society decided to hold a fair to showcase the agricultural products and livestock of the area. The first fair was held on October 12, 1854 and was a great success. The fair continued to grow in popularity over the years, and by the early 1900s it was one of the largest and most well-attended fairs in the state of Minnesota.
In recent years, the Lake City Fair has continued to grow and evolve. Today, the fair is a major community event that features a wide variety of attractions and activities for all ages. There is something for everyone at the Lake City Fair, and it is a great way to experience all that our community has to offer.
We hope you will join us at the Lake City Fair this year!
The very first Lake City Fair was held in 1874, just two years after the city was founded.
For the first few years, the fair was a small, local affair. But it soon grew in popularity and size, attracting visitors from all over the state and beyond.
In the early 1900s, the fair was one of the biggest and most popular events in the city. It was a time when the whole community came together to celebrate the end of the harvest season and to enjoy a few days of fun and relaxation.
Sadly, the fair was forced to close its doors in the mid-1940s due to the outbreak of World War II. But it was revived in the early 1950s and has been held every year since.
Today, the Lake City Fair is still a much-loved community event. It’s a time when people come together to enjoy the best of what the city has to offer.
If you’ve never been to the Lake City Fair, then you’re missing out on a true slice of Americana. So make sure you come down to the fairgrounds and enjoy the fun!
