Brown County Fair - Aberdeen, South Dakota
The Brown County Fair has been providing entertainment and promoting family unity since the 1880’s. It began as a small county fair where livestock, vegetables, grains, and machinery were brought for display. The 2006 fair will be August 14 - 20.
In the 1920’s, it became known as the Tri-State Fair (Minnesota and the two Dakotas) which ran a full week and was known for its competition among purebred animal producers. Along with the huge machinery displays, horse and auto racing were featured on alternate days. It was a major social and entertainment event before the days of radio and television.
Since those early days, the fair has opened up to all residents of the county and includes a large variety of exhibit choices: all breeds of livestock, poultry, field crops, garden crops, flowers, arts and crafts and several home arts divisions.
Camping is available for those attending the fair, contact the fair grounds staff for more information.
