Carp Fair 2026

Admission tickets

Tickets for getting into the fair. Looking for the 50/50 draw instead? That is a separate, licensed charitable raffle — it lives here.

What you can buy

Admission, parking and weekend passes are sold through our external ticket provider. Prices and on-sale dates are confirmed by the fair committee before each fair.

Not the 50/50this is admission

Visitors spread across the fairgrounds with the midway behind them — The grounds on a fair weekend — admission covers the halls, the rings and the midway grounds.

Day admission

One day at the fair

Entry to the grounds, the exhibition halls, the livestock rings and the midway grounds for a single day of the fair.

Weekend pass

All four days

Entry across the full run of the fair, for people who come back for the judging, the parade and the grandstand.

Parking

On the grounds

Parking is on the fairgrounds. Availability and any charge are published by the fair committee before the fair opens.

Where the money is taken

Admission tickets are sold and paid for on the external ticket provider's platform, under their terms. This website does not operate a checkout and does not receive, transmit or store payment card details. Prices, categories and on-sale dates are confirmed by the fair committee — they are not published here until they are final.
