Formerly known as Adult Prom and Grand Champion Gala, The Elkhart County 4-H Fair Annual Spring Fundraiser supports the Elkhart County 4-H Fairgrounds and it's mission of supporting the 4-H program in Elkhart County. 

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, this year's fundraiser is going completely virtual with online bidding and live streams with our organization's stakeholders on the last day of the event.

About the Fair 

Through the years, the Elkhart County 4-H Fair has evolved into one of the largest fairs in the state of Indiana hosting more than 200,000 guests annually during its 9-day run. Backed with strong community financial support, the fairgrounds have expanded from 48 acres in the early 1900’s to a 380 acre facility with more than 70 structures that are utilized year-round. The Fair remains largely produced by a volunteer board of more than 130 and it continues its mission to be a showcase for more than 3,800 4-H youth each year.

The Elkhart County 4-H Fair prides itself on promoting agriculture, youth development, and family friendly entertainment in Elkhart County and the greater Michiana area. With grandstand concerts, world famous food, top notch youth competitions, and a plethora of entertainment, there is something for everyone at the Fair.
