Where Northwest Indiana Comes Together

Agriculture, Tradition, Community & Entertainment Since 1845

The LaPorte County Fair is proud to be Indiana’s oldest county fair, bringing together generations of tradition, community, and celebration since 1845.

From livestock shows and Open Class exhibits to live music, motorsports, carnival rides, and classic fair food, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Visitors can explore Pioneerland’s historic charm, cheer on grandstand events, and take part in interactive experiences that highlight the heart and hard work of LaPorte County.
