Our Mission Statement
The Manistee County Agricultural Society is committed to providing an annual county fair for the purpose of exhibition of livestock, produce and handiwork, as well as family-oriented entertainment in a wholesome environment.
It is the Society's goal to promote and support youth activities and participation to encourage involvement from surrounding communities. The Manistee County Agricultural Society, periodically throughout the year, will provide or permit to be provided activities on the fairgrounds for public entertainment and enrichment.
The Manistee County Fair originated in 1886 under the name of the Manistee County Agricultural Society and is still recognized as a non-profit Michigan Corporation. Manistee County Fairgrounds is owned by Manistee County and managed by the Board of Directors of the Manistee County
Agricultural Society.
Annual Fair Board Meeting
The annual fair board meeting will be held on November 4th at 6:00pm,
with the regular meeting following it at the Road Commission building.
Regular fair board meetings are held the first Tuesday of each month at the fairgrounds at 7:00pm.
*During cold weather, they are instead held at the Manistee County Road Commission building
