Burt County Fairground — Local services in Oakland

The Burt county fair is always a great time. A lot of work goes into this even each year running On July on a Thursday-Tuesday. Always a big headliner band on Saturday and on Sunday the parade. After is the Cattlemen’s feed where you can get a ton to eat. The demolition derby to follow. There is of course the many competitions, as well as 4H activities. The competitions vary from photos and art, to plants and of course animals! You will also find an arena for hose riding competitions. Also horseback cowboy shooting events, and even local bans or magic shows! Many businesses come to the fair to display their equipment as well as their many services. The Burt county fair also has a midway with several rides and games for all ages and wallets. Then there is the food, not just fair food either. The 4H kitchen makes some great meals including PIE! There are also your other foods like funnel cakes, kettle corn, mini donuts, lemonade and Bobas. If you are looking for a great local event, this is for you. The parking is plentiful, especially if you figure the large east lot. Plenty of restrooms available as well. Facility is well maintained...

We are very happy the Fair is...

The Burt County Fair is one of the best county fairs I've ever attended west of the Mississippi. The fair is ran by some of the most professional and kind people you can find, and has that small town feel as it is centered in the great town of Oakland, NE. I also found out it has arguably the cleanest fairgrounds in the entire state. Would 10/10 recommend anyone wanting to experience a quality fair...
