The Polk County Fair Board would like to invite you back to the Fair! 

We are proud to announce the return of the Polk County Fair in 2021 to the Fair Park in St. Croix Falls. While the decision to cancel the fair last year was difficult, the decision to move forward with the fair this year has been equally challenging.  There will be, undoubtedly, many obstacles to overcome, and some things may not look or feel like they have in the past, but, we are committed to keeping our attendees as safe and healthy as we can.  We will be working with partners at the National, State, and Local, levels to ensure that we are incorporating as many Best Practices as possible. We are also just as committed to ensuring that everyone who attends our fair has a good time! In fact, our mascot this year Gertrude the GOAT, promises that you will have the Greatest Of All Time… (and everyone knows that goats don’t lie…)

Not all of the details have been worked out yet, so continue to check back in with our website, www.polkcountyfair.com.  As we finalize plans, we will update the website as soon as we can so that you can continue to make plans as well. You may want to check our Facebook page as well.

We hope that you will plan to join us at the Fair July 29^th through August 1^st 2021. We also ask for your patience and understanding as we navigate the way forward.  We hope that we can continue to count on your support just as we have for the last 130 years. We look forward to seeing you there!
