Lucas County Fair & Brew-Off

Celebrate summer traditions at the Lucas County Fair, returning to the Lucas County Fairgrounds July 13-19, 2026. Enjoy a full week of family-friendly entertainment featuring livestock shows, carnival rides, fair food, exhibits, live music, shopping, and special events for all ages.

Don’t miss two nights of live music on July 17-18, featuring New Frontier, performing the timeless hits of Journey, and Brock Middleton and The Outlaws, bringing country favorites and crowd-pleasing covers to the fairgrounds. Concert admission is included with fair admission, and guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs for seating.

On Friday, July 17, browse the Summer Night Market from 5-10 p.m. in front of Rec Hall 2, where local vendors will offer handcrafted goods, unique gifts, artwork, and specialty products under the summer evening sky.

Craft beer enthusiasts won’t want to miss the return of the Lucas County Fair Brew-Off. In celebration of America’s 250th Anniversary, eight Lucas County breweries will showcase American Pale Ales brewed exclusively with ingredients grown in the United States. Purchase a $30 Brew Pass to receive samples of all eight beers, enjoy them individually or as curated flights, vote for your top three favorites, test your beer knowledge by guessing which brewery is behind each pour, take home a commemorative sample mug, and receive two admissions to the Lucas County Fair.

Visitors can purchase Brew Passes online, at the fair entrance, or at the Brew Garden near the Entertainment Tent. Prefer a full pint? Enjoy 16-ounce pours for $6, or choose from additional beer, seltzers, and other beverages available throughout the Beer Garden.

Whether you’re coming for the rides, animals, concerts, local shopping, delicious fair food, or one-of-a-kind Brew-Off experience, the Lucas County Fair is one of northwest Ohio’s favorite summer traditions.
