This is the largest community owned and operated fair in Michigan, and it’s been running since 1872. If you are interested in old-fashioned down-to-earth entertainment, there are the tractor pulls, demolition derby events, including amusement rides, games, livestock, horse shows, and a parade.

Don’t miss the Hobby Barn where participants will show off their traditional skills like baking, canning, quilting, gardening, floriculture, and the arts, just to name a few. Visitors have the chance to walk around and enjoy the displays and contestants are judged in each of their categories.

The Annual Parkridge Summer Festival will have local entertainment, live music, food and merchandise vendors, and free community resources for local families. The free event is a partnership between the Parkridge Summer Festival Committee and Washtenaw County Office of Community and Economic Development (OCED). The event, which will take place at Parkridge Park in Ypsilanti, is scheduled from 11am to 6pm, with the resource tent available from 12 to 2:30 p.m.

The theme for this year’s fair is “All for Fun and Fun for All” at the Saline Community Fair. From working on projects which can be exhibited in one of the many categories at the fair, to practicing for the youth and adult talent show and deciding what activities to participate in, just to highlight a few of the opportunities. The 2025 fair promises to be another week of fun, learning opportunities and special activities, including a concert by THREE MEN and a TENOR on Saturday, August 30 from 6 – 8 p.m.

This free public festival showcases farms, local restaurants, food trucks, specialty food producers, and local organizations focused on growing a strong and sustainable local food system. The festival will also feature lively chef and skills demonstrations, produce tastings, interactive activities, live music, and more.
