ESCANABA The Upper Peninsula State Fair Authority (established in 2010) is the governing body of the U.P. State Fair. It is responsible for coordinating and providing a variety of services related to the U.P. State Fair and the fairgrounds for the citizens of the Upper Peninsula and the State of Michigan. The UP State Fair Authority targets three main objectives in its responsibilities.
The first objective is Agricultural Promotion. Promoting agriculture is a primary focus to connect consumers with producers of agricultural products. The fair supports programs, facilities and competitions to enhance this connection during the fair and all other times.
