July 14-19, 2025

The St. Clair County 4-H and Youth Fair is held every summer in July at Goodells County Park and features the projects and livestock of area youth who are involved in 4-H programs. This year’s fair is July 14th through 19th.

Best Family Fair!

The fair is widely considered the best in Michigan. Could you really spend six days there? Yes, you could. The projects and animals are the main event, but there is so much more. The fair has a huge carnival midway, tons of vendors and exhibits, numerous food options (think elephant ears, walking tacos, fresh lemonade, and more), plenty of live music, and stellar evening entertainment.

Plenty of Entertainment

This year’s lineup includes Monster Trucks on Tuesday, July 15th; Auto-cross/Team Bump & Run on Wednesday, July 16th; Tractor and Truck Pull on Thursday, July 17th; Bump and Run and Draft Horse Pulls on Friday, July 18th; and Figure 8 & Stock Derby on Saturday, July 19th. There are many other entertainment events. The full list can be found here.

Carnival

The St. Clair County 4-H and Youth Fair features one of the best carnivals in Michigan, run by the Skerbeck Family. Pricing varies by day. Details can be found here: https://stclaircounty4hfair.org/carnival/.
