Steele County Free Fair 

About

The Steele County Free Fair is much more than a county fair…it’s a family affair! As the largest county fair in Minnesota, our fair offers a wide variety of events and attractions and admission is free!

For one week each year, the fairgrounds in Owatonna rivals a large shopping center. Vendors from 25 states and Canada bring a wide range of goods, from crystal to quilts, art to furniture, potato peelers to RV’s. More than 100 food stands will tease the taste buds of fairgoers and have them eating everything from cotton candy to prime rib. Thrill seekers will enjoy the 40+ midway rides provided by Gold Star Amusements or one of the many attractions in Adventure Alley. Music lovers of all ages can visit the free entertainment stages.

The Steele County Free Fair was chosen by the Special Events Directory and Events Business News as one of the top 200 events in North America.
