Exhibition Hall and Commercial Building
Full of vendors and all our Open Show projects, we hope you'll take the time to stroll through the big buildings at the fairgrounds!

Mary Alice Ag Discovery Zone
Named for a longtime volunteer with the fair, the Ag Discovery Zone gives kids of all ages the hands-on opportunity to learn about agriculture.

Carnival Rides
What trip to the fair is complete without riding a few rides? At the Vermilion County Fair, you have unlimited access to the carnival rides once you're in the gate. We take great pride in being an affordable option for all families!
