Fond du Lac County Fair
The Fond du Lac County Fair is an annual county fair that takes place every July in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. The first Fond du Lac County Fair took place on September 29, 1852, in Rosendale. The Fond du Lac County Fairs' motto is "Education, Entertainment and Affordable Family Fun." Musical acts headlining the 2015 Grandstand include Grand Funk Railroad, Great White & Slaughter, Montgomery Gentry and other family entertainment such as the Fondy Fair 5K Run/Walk on July 18, 2015. Other Grandstand shows include a tractor pull, horse pull, truck pull, BMX stunt show and a demolition derby.
The only cancelled years were 1917–18 and 1942–45. In 2020, officials had to limit attendance and cancel concerts and rides due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Fond du Lac County Fairgrounds was used as an automobile racing facility in the early 20th century. Past winners include Bill Endicott in 1912.
