The Midland Fairgrounds will be closed from Tuesday, March 24 through Monday, April 13, 2020 in compliance with Gov. Whitmer's Stay at Home executive order no. 2020-22.
To all customers with property in winter storage, we will resume office hours on Tuesday, April 14 at 9:00a.m. pending any further executive order by Gov. Whitmer. Once we are able to open, we will work diligently to retrieve storage in an orderly fashion and there will be no late fee charged after the April 15 date for customers as we work to remove property from storage. Any additional updates regarding winter storage will be posted on Midland Fair's facebook page and webpage. Thank you and stay safe.

Recent News

May 8, 2018 -- The Midland Fairgrounds developed a new master plan for the fairgrounds. The work was completed through a generous grant of the Midland Area Community Foundation. The master plan prioritizes several projects that will enhance the use of the grounds through building improvements in the livestock and equine area, improving circulation and defining spaces across the facility. All of the enhancements will address our commitment to agricultural education and our community.
