2025 Lake County Fair Entertainment Applicaton

Thank you for your interest in performing at the 96th Annual Lake County Fair
Wednesday, July 23 - Sunday, July 27 in Grayslake, Illinois!

In order to be considered for this year's fair, please submit an entertainment application below.

Applications will be accepted until March 1, 2025. If you have not heard from a member of our entertainment committee by April 1, your application was not selected to perform at this year's fair. Applications for the 2026 fair will be open in January 2026.

• All submissions will be reviewed by a volunteer selection committee.
• Due to the high volume of submissions, please do not visit, call or email the office to solicit your band or attraction. Unsolicited voicemail messages and emails pertaining to entertainment at the fair will not be returned.
• The Lake County Fair will provide stage and sound production. If you are a self-contained attraction and do not require a stage or sound production (example: street performer that brings a portable mic/sound system), please indicate that on your application.
• If the selection committee is interested in booking you for the Lake County Fair, you will be contacted at the phone number or email listed on your application.
